San Bernardino Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We got in your car and we hit the highway
Eastern sun was rising over the mountains
Yellow and blood red bits
Like a kaleidoscope
[Verse 2]
And flaming swords may guard the Garden of Eden
But we consulted maps from earlier days
Dead languages on our tongues

We're gonna be okay
[Chorus 2]
We were safe inside
And our new son cried
"San Bernardino welcomes you."
