So now you're off to California where the sunshine lights the best And its not often that you've had to put those morals to the test I tip my hat and I say goodbye, to the weekends and the nights My heart goes out to California where the sun shines
Now dont you say I didnt warn you a change like this don't come to much So let that summer weather hold you until you feel that Winter crush Try to ease your mothers pain from the day your father ran away And no your parents don't define you, you will be fine
Don't count on me to repair these broken wings I know that you will be just fine No failing me, just prepare me for the city I feel it to; don't say goodbye And if you get lost on the way Ill pick you up, and dust you off, because thats what I do And all the little games we play They'll keep on going, and then going, and then going
So take the thought of summer's last drive cruising right down Peach Ridge Rd. Remember the days of thinking forward and making movies until we're old Take the worst and then make the best, In that window to the west You have got to live your life the way you want it to
These days I am feeling older and I know you feel older too so lets make careful little plans to seize the day and then seize the view Take the breeze in and feel the air, it shouldn't be long before I get there and don't get lost in California, where the sun shines
Don't count on me to repair these broken wings I know that you will be just fine No failing me, just prepare me for the city I feel it to; don't say goodbye And if you get lost on the way Ill pick you up, and dust you off, cuz thats what I do And all the little games we play They'll keep on going, and they're going, and then going
Remember the golden days of happiness
Don't get lost in California Don't get lost in California Don't get lost in California Don't get lost in California
