The hometown, revisited. Ghosts everywhere...

lyrics

Foothill Boulevard

There’s a Starbucks on the corner
Where the Winchell’s used to be
Big Mike and gang have all moved on
Remember that chick Rita
She just turned 63
The hog farm and the long hairs all gone
The ghost of Alfie Obar
Shooting hoops at Sunland Park
As if that El Camino never rolled
Sweet Jane and me
In the back seat of my car
The greatest story never told on

Foothill Boulevard
Foothill Boulevard

The boys are getting’ ready
To ship out over there
Flags wave and the line’s out the door
JD takes his hat off
Virginia strokes his hair
Says “You know I love a man in a uniform”
The mayor’s giving speeches
And sipping his Jim Beam
As the band plays Down by the Schoolyard
Hey, look! Here comes Downey
And the whole football team
singing Bye, Bye Love as they march down

Foothill Boulevard
Foothill Boulevard

There’s Bikers and there’s Birchers,
Lost soul searchers
Scrub oak sage, scraggly pinion pines
At the foot of Camel’s Back
Old stone shacks
See that one over there, well, it’s mine on

Foothill Boulevard
Foothill Boulevard
Foothill Boulevard
