See, I´ve been here for 28 years
Poundin´ sweat beneath these wheels
We tattooed lines beneath our skin
No surrender, my Bobby Jean

See, I´ve been here for 28 years
Poundin´ sweat beneath these wheels
We tattooed lines beneath our skin
No surrender, my Bobby Jean

And we´ve been burned by all our fears
Just from growin´ up around here
Our father´s factories marked our cards
While Eden burned against the stars

And Sally said, Sally said
"I can´t take no more regret"
It cut us deep into our souls
Came and climbed into our bed

And Sally said, Sally said
"Meet me by the river´s edge"
We´re going to wash these sins away
Or else we won´t come back again

You know I had these ballroom dreams
That, as a child came to me
I was a boy in Grandma´s arms
A mother´s pride and a wounded heart

And I was full with fiery wonder
You wore Audrey Hepburn pearls
You were the only one who understood me then
You´re the only one who will

And Sally said, Sally said
"I can´t take no more regret"
It cut us deep into our souls
Came and climbed into our bed

And Sally said, Sally said
"Meet me by the river´s edge"
We´re going to wash these sins away
Or else we won´t come back again

And now I drive the 101
On a California night
And I´m amazed at all the stars
Beneath that old Hollywood sign

And they waltz the ballet up the boulevard
To a place we never kept
And I´m not sure if we belong here
If I never really left or if I can go home

And Sally said, Sally said
"I can´t take no more regret"
It cut us deep into our souls
Came and climbed into our bed

And Sally said, Sally said
"Meet me by the river´s edge"
We´re going to wash these sins away
Or else we won´t come back again

No retreat, no regrets
No retreat, no regrets
No retreat, no regrets
Meet me by the river´s edge

No retreat, no regrets
No retreat, no regrets
No retreat, no regrets
Meet me by the river´s edge
