Ortega Highway...
It was a chance - to say what I wanted to say
It was a chance - to see the tide washing away
All of my fears
And the doubts that I’ve lived with for years

You never know - if it’s the right time to talk
You never know - if it’s the right way to walk
Could it be right?
Since she’s all that’s on my mind tonight?

When we walked - Along the beach in the sun
When we talked - She wasn’t just anyone
You never know
If it’s the direction that you want to go.
And on the way - While we listened to songs
Throughout the day - It seemed nothing was wrong
We became friends
Ortega Highway…please take me back again

If I could try - to say what I wanted to say
If I could try - to say something else today
Would she listen?
If I tell her what my life is missin’?

I didn’t know - what she was doing to me
I didn’t know - if it was the sand or the sea
That calmed my soul
Does she know it’s my heart that she stole?

When we walked - Along the beach in the sun
When we talked - Was this a love life begun?
I never knew
That my emotions were coming through.
It seemed so right - The songs that played in my head
Throughout the night - As I lied there in bed
Today I can see
Ortega Highway…please bring her back to me.
