Chewin' on a piece of grass walkin' down the road
Tell me how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
Some people say, "This town don't look good in snow"
You don't care, I know
Ventura highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air

Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Oh come on Joe, you can always change your name

America biography
Three sons of military men whose fathers were stationed in England in the early 1950s, at the United States Air Force installation at RAF West Ruislip, London, and whose mothers were English, all happened to be back in England in the mid-1960s and all three attended London Central High School, about 16 miles Northwest of London, where they met while playing in two different bands.

- Dan Peek-born November 1, 1950, in Panama City, Florida.
