Star of Monterey Lyrics by Ben Chapman

Downbeat

2024

[Verse 1]
She rode in on the Star of Monterey
Took my breath before she rolled away
Said she never meant to break my heart
Now all we were is all we are
[Pre-Chorus]
And it hurts like hell but the worst part is
[Chorus]
She comes and she goes like seasons
No rhyme to her reason, easy as she pleases
Got Jesus on her necklace
Smokes cigarеttes for breakfast
Damn it why'd he makе her that way?
[Post-Chorus]
I’ll let her win anytime she wants to play
I'll let her in anytime she wants to stay
[Verse 2]
Time stood still on the Star of Monterey
As we made love in that California bay
Sun came up, the fire turned to ash
Now all we have is what we had
[Pre-Chorus]
And it hurts like hell but the worst part is
[Chorus]
She comes and she goes like seasons
No rhyme to her reason
Easy as she pleases
Got Jesus on her necklace
Smokes cigarettes for breakfast
Damn it why'd he make her that way?
[Post-Chorus]
I’ll let her win anytime she wants to play
I'll let her in anytime she wants to stay
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
And it hurts like hell but the worst part is
[Chorus]
She comes and she goes like seasons
No rhyme to her reason
Easy as she pleases
Got Jesus on her necklace
Smokes cigarettes for breakfast
Damn it, why'd he make her that way?
She comes and she goes like seasons
No rhyme to her reason
Easy as she pleases
Got Jesus on her necklace
Smokes cigarettes for breakfast
Damn it, why'd he make her that way?
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'll let her win anytime she wants to play
And I'll let her in anytime she wants to stay
I'll let her win anytime she wants to play
And I’ll let her in anytime she wants to stay
