Good one, Dave!!!

Thank you my friend CPL Dave Hoover for posting te audio recording of America performing "Ventura Highway"

Here is a live music video from 1975. I remember listening to this in 1975 as a young 12B combat engineer at Fort Campbell, KY.

Ventura Highway" written by Dewey Bunnell
Lyrics
"Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know

Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know

'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air

Did di di di dit ...

Wishin' on a falling star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on, Joe, you can always
Change your name
Thanks a lot, son, just the same

Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know

'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air

Did di di di dit …"

Thank you my friend TSgt Joe C. for mentioning me.
