Mason Jennings Lyrics: 579 (Road To Oakland)

579 (Road To Oakland)

All along the powerlines I take the road below me
Driving through the rainy night
Driving to the other side of town
Where no-one seems to know me
You want me to stop and see how much you can do for me
But I know you don't matter to me

I didn't come to be with you
I just love the road to Oakland
I didn't come to be with you
I just love the road to Oakland

All along the painted line I take the road below me
Driving through the rainy night
Driving through the love of God
Could this be my crossroads
I can't turn around when my sorry life feels this good
And I'm watching me fall

I don't think I'm gonna stand ever again
I'll just drive into Oakland

I'll take 579 to Oakland (4x)

I didn't come to be with you
I just love the road to Oakland
I didn't come to be with you
I just love the road to Oakland
