I left my friends some years ago
I took my love and dream to roam, girl
Cross down in the countryside
To make this little town my home
Nothing to me matters now
Except that dream and you
The magic of your laughter, girl
And the dollar in my shoe
Chorus:
Listen to the wind, the quiet river roll
The music of my life, the rhythm of my soul
How I love that sound
Let It all begin
Listen to the melody
And the power of love within
From Tucson to the Southern Coast
A friendly dog he followed me
He died one day in San Jose
I had to leave him by the sea, girl
No, I haven't saved too much
But what I have we'll share
A song I just wrote yesterday
And the magic feeling in the air
Repeat chorus
I took my love and dream to roam, girl
Cross down in the countryside
To make this little town my home
Nothing to me matters now
Except that dream and you
The magic of your laughter, girl
And the dollar in my shoe
Chorus:
Listen to the wind, the quiet river roll
The music of my life, the rhythm of my soul
How I love that sound
Let It all begin
Listen to the melody
And the power of love within
From Tucson to the Southern Coast
A friendly dog he followed me
He died one day in San Jose
I had to leave him by the sea, girl
No, I haven't saved too much
But what I have we'll share
A song I just wrote yesterday
And the magic feeling in the air
Repeat chorus
