San Bernardino

[Verse 1]

We got in your car and we hit the highway

Eastern sun was rising over the mountains

Yellow and blood red bits

Like a kaleidoscope

[Verse 2]

And flaming swords may guard the Garden of Eden

But we consulted maps from earlier days

Dead languages on our tongues

Holding onto our last hope

[Chorus 1]

And the day was bright and fine

And the highway sign said

"San Bernardino welcomes you"

[Verse 3]

I checked us into our motel and filled the bathtub

And you got in the warm, warm water

I pulled petals from my pocket

I loved you so much just then

[Verse 4]

And it was hard but you were brave, you are splendid

And we will never be alone in this world

No matter what they say

We're gonna be okay

[Chorus 2]

We were safe inside

And our new son cried

"San Bernardino welcomes you."
