Lyrics

Mendocino Blues

I'm up in Mendocino feeling just like a fool
walking around in circles hoping to run into you
did I chase you too fast
did I love you too hard
did I scare you with the words that I used
well I can't take them back
I'm afraid they were the truth

I've never been the kind to hang around i've never been the kind to take my time
I just jump straight in the fire and I pray everything will be alright
but that fire burned so bright and I got burned pretty bad
and theres nothing I can do to kill the pain
the blues are coming down
with the Mendocino rain

Now its one more cup of coffee for the road before leave this dream behind
there's no use to chase the wind no use to waste my time
as I'm leaving theres one question that still lingers on my mind
did I chase you too fast
did I love you too hard
did I scare you with the three words that I used
well I can't take them back
I'm afraid they were the truth
