Somewhere south of Sacramento
she's sleeping in the silence of the night
teardrop stains on her satin pillow
she's dreaming of another place and time
where she isn't lonely
and she isn't sad
and she isn't all alone
and her dreams aren't only
all she's ever had
and a broken heart isn't all she's known
So I'm on my way
on the road to California
I'm driving through the Oklahoma rain
On the road
to the girl in California
and this time I won't lose my way
California by the break of day
Spent my life chasing memories
I've never had a place that I've called home
I couldn't find a moments peace
the highway is the only home I've known
where it's always lonely
and I'm always sad
where I'm always all alone
where my dreams are all I've ever had
and a broken heart is all I've known
So I'm on my way
on the road to California
I'm driving through the Oklahoma rain
On the road
to the girl in California
and this time I won't lose my way
California by the break of day
I can almost smell the jasmine in her hair
and hear her telling me that she's the one
I can almost taste the sweetness of her kiss
and feel the warmth of the California sun
She isn't lonely
and she isn't sad
and she isn't all alone
and her dreams aren't only
all she's ever had
and a broken heart isn't all she's known
So I'm on my way
on the road to California
I'm driving through the Oklahoma rain
On the road
to the girl in California
and this time I won't lose my way
California by the break of day
