It's a three-day drive if she drives all night Says she's leavin' at the crack of dawn Well, she might still be lyin' here with me But in her heart she's already gone Already packed-up, the Altima's gassed-up She's done put the map up there on the dash And I'm all tore-up just tryin' to man-up Dammin' these tears up but can't hold ‘em back
'Cause she's in love with California And that West-Coast sunshine dream These ain't no Holly Woods And these hills ain't Beverly Ain't no beaches on these backroads No sunset on the boulevard She's in love with California And breakin' my heart
Got a waitress job waitin' in an Ihop Throw a rock and hit Universal City Got a glamour shot in her hip pocket Hopin' somebody'll think she's pretty By this time tomorrow she'll hit Colorado I'll be drownin' my sorrow in a bottle of Beam Before she hits Flagstaff, maybe she'll backtrack But I wouldn't bet that if I was me
'Cause she's in love with California And that West-Coast sunshine dream These ain't no Holly Woods And these hills ain't Beverly Ain't no beaches on these backroads No sunset on the boulevard She's in love with California And breakin' my heartt
She was all mine But now it's go-time
'Cause she's in love with California (California) And that West-Coast sunshine dream (California) These ain't no Holly Woods And these hills ain't Beverly There ain't no beaches on these backroads No sunset on the boulevard She's in love with California And breakin' my heart She's in love with California And breakin' my heart
