Greg Brooks - Santa Barbara Lyrics

They say if you look hard enough
You're gonna find
Everything you're lookin for
Just don't change your mind

I thought I knew it all one day
You turned and you looked at me
I think I might just have to stay
Here
In Santa Barbara

They say the weather's fine
Down there on the coast
Everyone drives a shiny car
And I'm just lookin for a job
To be where you are

You know I was born not too far from here
Then I went around the world
Never thought I'd be comin home
To Santa Barbara

There comes a time to take a look at what you got
If you can hold it in your hand then you have not
When something deep inside you is so clear upon your face
You might believe it,,,,oohhhh
You best believe it
Somethings holdin me back
I need your love
I need your love
(spoken) There, I said it

Then I ask myself
What the hell am I still doing here?
Its a million dollars for a house and ten bucks for a beer
Then I feel that ocean breeze, I feel your lips upon my skin
I find myself sayin
Where do I sign?

You answer to no one
And no one calls your name
You gotta love yourself but you know it's not the same
I feel like I won the war
But I lost the game
The game for you
The game for two

You know, there's sand in my pockets
Where there might be gold
I'll be standin in the sun til I get good and old
If you want me nine to five well I will thank you for your time
But Ill tell you
Youre gonna have a come and get me....oohhhhh
You'll have to come a get me

Nothings holding me back
I still need your love
I still need your love

They say if you look hard enough
You're gonna find
Everything you're lookin for
Just don't change your mind

I thought I knew it all one day
You turned and you looked at me
I think I might just have to stay
Here
In Santa Barbara
