[Verse 1]
My mother told me as a child
She lived on Jacaranda Street
With sidewalks covered in purple flowers
From the jacaranda trees
[Verse 2]
She didn't live there long
But then, she didn't live long anywhere
Rolled around from town to town
Like a Santa Ana breeze
[Refrain]
Always a new world
Always the new girl
[Verse 3]
Her father was a bootlegger
A charmer in a Model T
He played the keys, he spoke chinese
Knew every back road
[Verse 4]
But half the time he wasn't there
And left her in her mother's care
They'd move and live and move again
Or so the legend goes
[Refrain]
Always a new world
Always the new girl
[Chorus]
It takes a certain kind of soul
To come from nearly nothing
And turn it into something grand
Always looking for a golden door
A place to call her home
Praying for the wanderer's holy land
Can anybody really understand?
[Verse 5]
My mother told me as a child
She left her favourite doll behind
No time to cry or say goodbye
Just travelling on again
[Verse 6]
And by the time of caps and gowns
She lived in over 30 towns
She'd meet someone and then it was done
Lost another friend
[Refrain]
Always a new world
Always the new girl
[Chorus]
It takes a certain kind of soul
To come from nearly nothing
And turn it into something grand
Always looking for a golden door
A place to call her home
Praying for the wanderer's holy land
Can anybody really understand?
[Bridge]
Jacaranda
Jacaranda
Jacaranda
Jacaranda
[Verse 7]
My mother told me as a child
She lived on Jacaranda Street
I like to think she found some peace
Under Jacaranda trees
[Chorus]
It takes a certain kind of soul
To come from nearly nothing
And turn it into something grand
Always looking for a golden door
A place to call her home
Praying for the wanderer's holy land
Can anybody really understand?
