Someday I'm gonna pack up
And then I'm goin' back up
To that place where sentimental feelings arouse


Where the grass is so green
And the air is so clean

That when the wind is right you can even smell the cows

Take me down (take me down)

To that good old SLO town
Where time shifts into neutral
And idles away


Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town

I've got to get back
To that city today


If you're new in town
Then you'll wanna look around
But you don't know where to begin

Well, there's Bubble Gum Alley
And the local car rally
Not to mention the toilets at Madonna Inn


Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town

Where time shifts into neutral
And idles away


Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town
I've got to get back

To that city today

It's not much of a hassle

To drive up to Hearst's Castle
And it's not too far from Pismo Beach or Morro Rock


You can visit downtown at your leisure
Because for your shopping pleasure
The stores never close down until five o'clock


Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town

Where time shifts into neutral
And idles away


Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town
I've got to get back

To that city today

Take me down (take me down)

To that good old SLO town
Where time shifts into neutral
And idles away


Take me down (take me down)
To that good old SLO town

I've got to get back
To that city today
