Stranded In L.A.

Make a trip over in California, oh yes!
Break down at the Ogbe Valley Road
52 miles out of L.A., oh yes
Red light going to and from ya

That's how we know we were (stranded)
In the middle of nowhere (stranded)
No one was at the rescue (stranded)
Walking was the only alternative I say (stranded)

(Walking down the road) over hills and valleys we go
(Walking down the road) slide through the burnt cannon
(Walking down the road) and the dusty dusty road yeah
(Walking down the road) oh yes

The night was as dark as pitch
And the only light was that of the star
Or the passing motorist
So we walked and we prayed

'Cause we know that we were (stranded)
In the middle of nowhere (stranded)
No one was at the rescue (stranded)
Walking was the only alternative, I say (stranded)

Then comes a good Samaritan
Is name was Roger, he drove his Dodger (bet you didn't know)
He said, "Man, you all look so decent
Of all things you know" (bet you didn't know)
He put us to work on the highway for money
Ooh yes, I know (bet you didn't know)
Neither do they, it's like a joke

That's how we know we were (stranded)
In the middle of nowhere (stranded)
No one was at the rescue (stranded)
Walking was the only alternative I say (stranded)

Make a trip over in California
Oh yes, break down and lay on the valley road
52 miles out of L.A. y'all, oh yes (bet you didn't know)
Red lights going through and fro, yeah (bet you didn't know)

That's how we know we were (stranded)
In the middle of nowhere (stranded)
No one was at the rescue (stranded)
Walking was the only alternative, I say (stranded)

(Bet you didn't know) our feet were our only carriage
(Bet you didn't know) oh yes
(Bet you didn't know) so we walked and we talked
(Bet you didn't know) oh yes we did

Stranded, oh yeah (stranded)
In the middle of nowhere (stranded)
Brother Saki was there too (stranded)
Oh yeah, bet you didn't know
Look at that, bet you didn't know
Got the walk and the walk, bet you didn't know
