Susan Werner - Petaluma Afternoons lyrics

Sonoma County on a Sunday Not a cloud in the California sky Cement Buddha in the backyard Unperturbed by the ants crawlin' up his thigh T.J. sittin' in a deck chair Smiles her easy smile from ear to ear Maura standin' in the doorway Says, "You really ought to move out here" Petaluma afternoons When the light comes pourin' in The bu*tered sunshine on your skin is Full of love and vitamins And they always end too soon These Petaluma afternoons, yeah Put your book up on the table Stretch yourself back underneath the sun Close your eyes and let the daydreams Dance across your forehead one by one Troubles fade into the distance The Doobie Brothers on the radio Maura reads the weather for ya Says, "New York City got another three feet of snow" Petaluma afternoons When the light comes pourin' in The bu*tered sunshine on your skin is Full of love and vitamins And they always end too soon These Petaluma afternoons Feel the healin' golden rays Feel them warm your frozen bones Listen as the music plays And the serotonin flows in Goodbye kisses 'round sundown Gas and coffee by the Interstate Due in Vancouver in the mornin' Safe to say you're gonna be just a little late But Portland's nothing but a downspout Seattle is only sailboats in the rain So drag your feet in California God knows you got nothin' to explain Petaluma afternoons When the light comes pourin' in The bu*tered sunshine on your skin's Full of love and vitamins And they always end too soon These Petaluma afternoons These Petaluma afternoons These Petaluma afternoons These Petaluma afternoons Feel the healin' golden rays As the serotonin flows in
