Back Towards Diamond Bar Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

A yellow moon hung low in the sky 

The snake will crawl, the raven fly 

And guilty hands will grip the wheel 

Keep on the road, no skid or peel 

And then I drove right down the road 

I saw myself in a cloud of dust 

I wanna drive, I wanna drive 

With a trunkload of sin 

I don't know the mess I'm in 

The mess I'm in 

I wanna fly high in the sky 

Look right into the red bird's eye 

I'm goin' east, I'm flyin' west 

North and southccyou take the test 

In a rear view mirrorcccheck for « red and tin » 

I don't know the mess I'm in 

The mess I'm in 

I got a trunkload a' trash and tar 

And I've been drivin' down that road 

Back towards diamond bar 

Diamond bar... 

Diamond bar... 

Diamond bar...
