lyrics

I'm heading down that 805 and off that 52
heading down to Clairemont to them Barstow Street blues
yeah, I'm heading on back home
I ain't been there in a few
I heard mamas cooking pozole and Chuy's got his guitar tuned

It's been close to ten years but somethings never change
down through Clairemont things always seem this strange
yeah, theres something in the air
feels like 1950 too
I hope mamas cooking pozole and Chuy's got his guitar tuned

Well, I'm halfway down and I had to stop to pray
this god forsaken town sitting by that highway
its gonna drive you insane cause there ain't much there to do
we're all trying to make a living down here with them Barstow Street Blues


so I walk through the door and I say howdy folks
little Bleu's grown up and Joey cracked a joke
and my sisters got the car she'll be gone a day or two
Oh but mamas cooking pozole and Chuy's got his guitar tuned

I've been trying to live a clean a clean and better way
gotta get my self a job or get back up in that game
theres only so many hours one can sleep throughout the day
thank got mamas cooking pozole and Chuy cant wait to start playing

yeah I'm heading down that 805 and off that 52
yeah I'm heading down to Clairemont to them Barstow Street Blues
I'm heading on back home, gonna be here for a few
I'm gonna try to make a living down here with them Barstow Street Blues
It's hard to make a living down here with them Barstow Street Blues
Thank god mamas cooking pozole and Chuy's got his guitar tuned
