[Verse 1:]
They're playin' guitars with stars their eyes on Broadway
They're just paying their dues
And waitin' for news on a big break
I wish you were here
'Cuz sometimes I get lonely
Guess I'm not the only new girl in town
[Chorus:]
Momma, I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
[Verse 2:]
There's so many new faces and beautiful places in this town
I'm learnin' the ropes on this crazy road
I'm goin' down
I'm makin' my way
No one said that it'd be easy
Trust me
Believe me
I'm where I belong
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
We're miles apart
But you're in my heart
I keep you with me everywhere I go
[Repeat Chorus:]
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away
