Drove through Albuquerque, I-35
Headed towards California
Trying to find a piece of life to call my own
Cause, as of lately, it's been bare as stone
And, I know there has to be more offered out there
Other than hating a job you can hardly stand
So, I left home in pursuit of dreaming and finding my better half
No, you're not it
I hate to break the news: You're not even close
Cause, what I'm searching for
Is more that I can find in a girl
And, what I'm searching for
Is a place I can let my soul unfurl
And, a place where I can feel comfortable in my own skin
Speed limits are never quick enough
To get you where you want to be
And, it's always too hot in the summer
To escape with the top down
So, you flip on the AC and hide yourself
Behind the blackest windows the law will allow
Just so you can escape your old identity
Here I come California
Sing me a song to forget about
How much I'm going to miss Oklahoma
Come on, sing a song to my soul
Come on, California
It's just me and you now
Months later you realize how good you had it
And, how much you dislike the person you were aiming to become
Once you realize you were aiming to be that person for someone else
