Well, I wasn't expecting rain Then again, now all the same
I was a-sittin' on my porch with an old guitar And the rain came a-fallin' down
Soft and mellow sound, fallin' all around Arroyo Seco
Was a rainy peaceful night, not a star in sight Just some lonely headlights rollin' down El Salto road
Well, I could've left this lyin' here, left the story all untold
But I sing it for my love, Arroyo Seco Arroyo Seco, it's my home, sweet home
I live down below, and in the mountains I roam So many years I've been wanderin' round and round
But now I'm glad I settled down in Arroyo Seco
Once thought I was lost, oh Lord, I once thought I was found
Following my footsteps and my mind just spinnin' round and round and round
Spent a'time a-seekin', searchin' out the one Now I'm just singin' in the sun, in Arroyo Seco
Arroyo Seco, it's my home, sweet home I live down below, and in the mountains I roam
So many years I've been wanderin' round and round
But now I'm glad I settled down in Arroyo Seco
Well, I wasn't expectin' rain, then again now all the same
I was a-sittin' on the porch with an old guitar
Fallin' all around, Arroyo Seco
