The road map, wrinkled up Tucked away in the glovebox Shows many miles left to go Three days nonstop Hope this engine doesn't give Till I pa** snow I hope that I can see Blue seas and palm trees And the radio tuned into... California California California I think I'll stay down I think I'll stay down for a while One year gone by Can't feel anything Constant reminder in this place We fought with everything For one, we let her go She kept her date with Eden's Gate I hope that I can find Some kind of peace of mind And the strength to start again (California...) Mexican music on the airwaves (California...) Sunkissed with the top down (California...) Mission drive down to the border I think I'll stay down, I think I'll stay down for a while I hope that I can see Blue sea and palm trees And the radio tuned into.... California... California... California... (California...) Mexican music on the airwaves (California...) Sunkissed with the top down (California...) Mission drive down to the border I think I'll stay down, I think I'll stay down I think I'll stay, I think I'll stay, I think I'll stay down for a while
