As an east wind blows through the south side of town
An old car pulls up and the sun goes down
Get in the back and
Drive around
Spin through the low end of the high road
That's lined with a love that's bought and sold
Change the station on the radio
Take a left down Paradise Road
And we'll drive around
Into a brand-new day
It makes no difference
To me and Home James
Sail away
Larry's band play the old back bar
Couples pour out of the cinema
Someone catches your eye like a glittering star
As she jumps in the back of a big black car
And the raindrops
Wash the night away
It's the same old story once again
Get into the back
And out of the pouring rain
And we'll drive around
Into a brand-new day
It makes no difference
To me and Home James
Sail away
Sail away across the river
To the other side of town
Sail away with me forever
Don't slow down
Just drive around
Into a brand-new day
It makes no difference
To me and Home James
Sail away
