Linda Kasabian, took her young baby
And left for the West Coast that day
Packed Miltown and soda
Drove to Arizona
But ended up down in L.A
And I wonder how life would have changed
If you'd only stayed out there in Maine?
Should have just gone
To Malibu
Now you're caught up
In something you
Can't escape
From your mistake
"Should have just stayed on the East Coast, grown old without you"
Linda Kasabian, won't show her face again
Now that she's walked out the door
Ran to obscurity
Blessed with immunity
A suitcase and nothing else more
And I wonder if you had it tough
When your Father moved to Florida?
Should have just gone
To Malibu
Now you're caught up
In something you
Can't escape
From your mistake
"Should have just stayed on the East Coast, grown old without you"
Yet somehow she's glad, the state law changed in '72
If you'd just gone
To Malibu
He'd be someone
You never knew
Can't escape
From your mistake
"Should have just stayed on the East Coast, grown old without you"
Yet somehow she's glad, the state law changed in '72
