I've passed a lot of exit signs in my time While drivin' down that long freeway To San Diego, and point south But there was a time last summer When I came down from Manhattan And though I knew I shouldn't, it was just too hard And I made my move at Rosecrans Boulevard Rosecrans Boulevard, stop your calling me You know I never loved her anyway I just used her Over and over But there were a time when she laugh and I think I loved her One night on Manhattan Beach I said things that moved too fast to suit her Then I held her close and dried her tears Rosecrans Boulevard, who cares what you think The girl was half crazy, the way she drove her little car down Sunset Boulevard At three in the morning doing ninety miles an hour in a thirty mile zone And blamed me when she got a ticket But then there was that smile It was really what made all the airlines go She was a stewardess, you know Shot down on a non-combatant mission And though I pity it Every time I drive my car past Rosecrans Boulevard I wonder why I did it
