Oh Oh I dream of California but I never want to leave you alone Oh Oh The love that I gave you, was the best that was ever shown Smile You're fulfilled for a little while Oh oh I smell a patch of roses on my way to lake Ontario Oh Oh I drove across the Midwest, I was bored out of my soul Now I am striving for the same old goal There is a place where I want to go I'm looking for a little taste of gold September 2nd, I'll be Off to the shore Off to the shore Oh Oh I'm hoping it will work out, I'd be lying if I told you the truth Oh Oh I'm loving our arrangement but I feel like I am wasting my youth Still I am sitting in the very last row There is a place where I want to go I'm looking for a little taste of gold September 2nd, I'll be Off to the shore Off to the shore Stop / Hold on I'm filled with doubts / Something feels wrong Wait / Now turn around Back to where I belong There is a place where I want to go I'm looking for a little taste of gold September 2nd, I'll be Off to the shore Off to the shore
