Mendocino County Blue - Steep Canyon Rangers

Half day south of the Oregon line

Somewhere between a dream and a friend of mine

There’s a song played out in the California heat

Where the rain won’t touch

The road stretches out where the river unwinds

Red tail rider from the highway sign

You let the windows down and you’re headed right into

Mendocino County Blues

Big wheel down

Little wheel roll

Make a sound that’ll shake your soul

There’s an eye in the sky everywhere you go

They’re coming around

You can blame it on the money

But it’s your own damn fault

Trouble ain’t trouble

Til you get caught

Just one more ride and we’ll have it made

Floating cool as the cotton in the Manzanita shade

Starlight Stella’s got the mojo touch

With the sandman’s hand man she don’t need much

She makes the sugary sweet when he reaches right through
