Lyrics

We took the bus on an overnight run
Going down to Adelaide to have us some fun
We saw moonlight and headlights and deer on the run
There were billboards flying by and plenty of sun
Down in Adelaide

We met our friends at Bea’s Cup café
Sat down at breakfast to plan our big day
You had coffee with sugar, I had lust in my eye
Someone said they knew a place
where we should get high
Down in Adelaide

You’re coming at me like a sweet parade
Vying for me ‘cuz you’re not afraid
Scrounging for love for now that’s enough for you

There’s a place just outside of town
Near the old abandoned graveyard with a few trees around
We brought the tents so we could party all night
You wore your straw hat and dressed all in white

You said you never felt it so hot
Then something ‘bout a time you swore you forgot
When I turned around, you’d peeled down to your skin
I stared straight at you, and wondered how to begin
Down in Adelaide

You’re coming at me like a sweet parade
Vying for me ‘cuz you’re not afraid
Scrounging for love for now that’s enough for you

But it won’t be enough for me

A beautiful scene that was not meant to last
A time in my life that ended too fast
Your light just went out, there’s nothing left to say
But I never ever, ever will forget that day
Down in Adelaide
