California

[Verse 1] She lived at the end of a little dirt road In a house where secrets go untold Barefoot in a cotton dress Dark hair in a tangled mess And a head full of crazy dreams She said [Chorus] I'm going to California A place where the sun always shines I'm going to California And I'm leaving everything behind [Verse 2] You can't help but feel a little bit touched When your daddy loves you a little too much You can wish on four leaf clovers But all the fields have been plowed over And there's nothing left to do but fly away She said [Chorus] I'm going to California A place where the sun always shines I'm going to California And I'm leaving everything behind [Bridge] Stars burn like candles on that two-lane highway She made her wish, and disappeared on her 18th birthday And she said [Chorus] I'm going to California A place where the sun always shines I'm going to California And I'm leaving everything behind I'm going to California And I'm leaving everything behind [Outro] Oh California I'm going to California Oh California Leaving it all behind California
