  • 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
