Wrong Way to Monterey

Wrong Way to Monterey - Peter Squires

I am happy to tell your friends

That we meant to go to san francisco

Just to play rummy for three straight hours

And eat pie from your favorite store

And I am not the kind of man

To get so bent up about a small fiasco

I am proud to be the kind of man

That can make the best of

Wherever the wind blows

So why don't you tell me how it goes

When you're two years in with so and so

And you point him

The wrong way to monterey

Does he make a lemon face

Or a glass of lemonade

Never got to see the whales and sharks

The octopi sea lions or manatees

Back then you didn't put the stuff

That you wanted to do over

Wanting to be with me

It wasn't so long ago that you

Told me to turn left after ocean street

And it won't be too long until

You realize other guys

Don't see the world like me

So why don't you tell me how it goes

When you're two years in with so and so

And you point him the wrong way to monterey

Does he make a lemon face

Or a glass of lemonade
