About

“Pedro Bound” is the fourth song on Contemplating the Engine Room. The lyrics are inspired by the regular biking path Mike Watt was habitually taking every morning at the time he was writing the album.

Pedro Bound! Lyrics

I'm Pedro bound, it's a sailor's town
Got my orders and lighted out

When I got down to Pedro town
Got me a bike to have a look around

Went south on Pacific
'till I hit Land's End
Starboard on Shepard
Down to Point Fermin
Heard the yammerin' parrots
I call the loudmen

Crack of dawn with an orange sun
Eye gifts flowin', one after one

Paseo del Mar
Was my pedalin' path
Checked Royal Palms
Heard the ocean laugh
At the trailer park
Turned 'round and came back

Watched Catalina as east I rode
Saw sunken city and the cliffs all throwed

Then Cabrillo Beach
To the end of the pier
To what was Fort Mac
Now a marina's here
22nd to Canetti's
Down to Warehouse One

Fishing fleet, tug fleet, fireboat house
Vincent Thomas Bridge all stretched out

A Local 13 longie
Shook me a hook
'membered Bloody Thursday
And the lives it took
He's a longshoreman
A pedro man

I'm Pedro bound, this sailor's town
Think I've found my home town
Pedro now forever bound
