California

Driving out of Tulsa,
Chasing after the setting sun.
Wondering if I've lost my mind
But figuring the damage has just begun.

Packed up all my memories,
Said goodbye to everyone.
Now I'm doing ninety-five,
Singing to the drone of the blacktop hum
California Here I Come

    California
    The sun will shine on me again.
    California
    Blue sky and beaches never end
    And a brighter day is just around the bend

Pull into a truck stop
Stocking up on road cuisine.
Faces of my new neighbors stare back at me
From the covers of the magazines

An actor loved an actress, but a supermodel
got inbetween.
But I've forgotten all their names by the time I finish
Pumping my gasoline.
Don't think Hollywood's my scene

    California
    The sun will shine on me again
    California
    Red carpet parties never end
    As long as L. Ron Hubbard is your friend.

[SOLO]

    California
    The sun will shine on me again.
    California
    Blue sky and beaches never end
    And a brighter day is just around the bend


Cruising through the desert
Marveling how life takes root in sand
Wonderin' whose bright idea it was to populate
Such barren land
Stop and ask directions from a long-haired guy
Sitting in a van
Lost my map some time ago, been traveling
Without a plan
But someone always lends a hand

    California
    The sun will shine on me again
    California
    Every strangers your new friend
    As long as you've got lots of cash to spend

    California
    The sun will shine on me again
    California
    Blue sky and beaches never end
    And a brighter day is just around
    Bluer skies just can't be found
    L. Ron Hubbard won't let you down
    Cause a brighter day is just around the bend.
