The falling of the night To dawning of the light I went for a ride out in the Elfin Forest Thinking I could write With misty eyes of white And it'd all be fine by the time I reached the chorus
In the evergreens I hung my youthfulness I was waiting for one last caress
San Marcos Oh, San Marcos You'll always be my home San Marcos Oh, San Marcos You'll always be my home
The rising of the tide When my hands were tied Made sure I'd be fine even when I thought I'd lost it Swami's Cafe Down to Mission Bay Oh, the county line tried to get me not to cross it
But even when I moved to Orange I could never forget what came before it
San Marcos Oh, San Marcos You'll always be my home San Marcos Oh, San Marcos You'll always be my home San Marcos San Marcos You'll always be my home San Marcos Oh, San Marcos You're always in my soul
