Palm Springs - Jill Sobule

Went to the desert on a mission

To have a vision or write a song

I left real early, I left my cell phone

I took the Prius, it gets good mileage

Something’s gonna happen

To change my world

I’m on the highway

I pass the windmills, I pass the outlet stores

Soon I’ll find the sacred places

I’ve been searching for

Wild horses, hawks circling

Gram Parsons, inspiration

Big cactus, coyotes

Something’s gonna happen

To change my world

When I got there to the motel

It was different than on the website

It was crowded, mostly seniors

There was a bar band playing

Bad, Bad Leroy Brown

So I went hiking, it was so barren

And it got too hot, so I turned around

(Ooh)

Went to the main drag

I saw the statue of Sonny Bono

And he was smiling

Something’s gonna happen

To change my world

Wild horses, hawks circling

Gram Parsons, inspiration

Big cactus, coyotes

Something’s gonna happen

To change my world

Back on the highway, wave to the windmills

The setting sun in my eyes drive to the ocean

That’s where we come from

I’ll throw my troubles to the rising tide

Something’s gonna happen to change my world

Seahorses, sharks circling

Brian Wilson, inspiration

Smart dolphins waves crashing

Something’s gonna happen

I said something’s gonna happen

(Ooh)

I said something’s gonna happen

To change my world
