San Bernadino Songtext

von Christie

San Bernadino / Christie 1970

I've been all around this great big world to Paris and to Rome
And I've never found a place that I could really call my own
But there's one place where I know the sun is shining endlessly
And it's calling me across the sea
So I must get back to San Bernadino

I remember when I was sixteen my daddy said to me
You could travel ?round this universe until eternity
But you'll never find that peace of mind
That you've been dreaming of
Not until you finally decide
To come on home to San Bernadino

Oh I'm longing for San Bernadino
Oh I'm longing for San Bernadino

I've been all along the water right up to the Rio Grande
And I've never found that paradise they call the promised land
I was young and foolishly I thought the world was at my feet
But I'm no diff'rent now
And so I'm homeward bound to San Bernadino

Well I'm older and I'm wiser and I've seen the light of day
And I think it's time to realize my dreams have gone astray
But I've tried so hard to reach that star
That was so far away
But now I've got to find that road
That's leading home to San Bernadino

Oh I'm longing for San Bernadino
Oh I'm longing for San Bernadino
