California

She lived at the end of a little dirt road
 In a house where secrets go untold
 Barefoot in a cotton dress, dark hair in a tangled mess
 And a head full of crazy dreams
 She said
 I'm going to California
 A place where the sun always shines
 I'm goin to California
 And I'm leavin' everything behind
 You can't help, but feel a little bit touched
 When your daddy loves you a little too much
 You can wish on four leaf clovers, but all the fields have been plowed over
 And there's nothin left to do but fly away
 I'm going to California
 A place where the sun always shines
 I'm goin to California
 And I'm leavin' everything behind
 Stars burn like candles on that two-lane highway
 She made her wish, and disappeared on her 18th birthday
 And she said
 I'm going to California
 A place where the sun always shines
 I'm goin to California
 And I'm leavin' everything behind
 I'm goin to California
 And I'm leavin' everything behind
 Oh California
 I'm goin to California
 Oh California
 Leavin' it all behind
 California...
