Over deze songtekst:
Ventura Highway werd geschreven door Dewey Bunnell. Hij kreeg de inspiratie door een bord met de naam Ventura (stad in Californië). De Ventura Highway zelf bestaat niet, de weg daar naar toe is de Highway 101. In het nummer komt de term 'purple rain' voor, wat de inspiratie zou kunnen zijn voor Prince jaren later. Al is dat nooit bevestigd.
Ventura Highway America (Burnell) Chewing on a piece of grass Walking 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 Wishin' on a falling star Watchin' for the early train Sorry boy, but I've been hit by Purple rain Aw, come on Joe, you can always Change your name Thanks a lot son, just the same Ventura Highway 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 you daylight There Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air
