If a man can't see his shadow
He can block your sun all day
He can make you small
He has the power to take his love away
Six hours on the grapevine
And I feel kidnapped this time
'Cause my baby thinks
He always believes
That he's always right

But I still think of him at night
And ooh, you know I would
Go back to the camp
With the kerosene lamps in the woods
Ooh, when you were mine
And I was yours for a time

On the grapevine
On the grapevine

California's my body
And your fire runs over me
My car broke down
In an old ghost town right around
Where they got James Dean
Emotional cowboy
With no hat and no boots
He stayed up all night
Trying to beat up the moon

And ooh, you know I would
Go back to the camp
With the kerosene lamps in the woods
Ooh, when you were mine
And I was yours for a time

On the grapevine
On the grapevine

Don't know when I'm gonna see you, boy
Oh, I've been waiting for the time
When I see the light shining across
The freeway late at night
Start to drift over the land
And it hits me for the first time
Now we're just two cars passing by
On the grapevine
Oh, oh

On the grapevine
