| Lyrics: | We were just about as wild as we were young Restless and free, madly in love Just you and me, a full tank of dreams Left that dirt road town in our rearview dust Down the interstate it was only us And the radio, 3000 miles to go Just like that we headed off to the coast California ain’t that far Where the hard times they ain’t that hard Everything’s better in the Golden West It’s a state of mind a way of life It’s an endless summer paradise San Francisco to Sunset Boulevard California ain’t that far We saw Memphis fade out with the setting sun Made Austin as old Willie sung “On The Road Again” just like an old friend Phoenix Arizona finally gave way As we opened up those Golden Gates Crossed that state line You looked right into my eyes And said darling I guess we were right California ain’t that far Where the hard times they ain’t that hard Everything’s better in the Golden West It’s a state of mind a way of life It’s an endless summer paradise San Diego to Sunset Boulevard California ain’t that far BRIDGE: But real life it aint like the movies Playing on them Hollywood big screens You got caught up in those nights Fell in love with those bright lights And fell out of love with me So I went back to where we started out Working 9-5 in this small town When suddenly I see you on my TV Makes me miss you and the days when I still believed California ain’t that far Where the hard times they ain’t that hard Everything’s better in the Golden West It’s a state of mind a way of life It’s an endless summer paradise The Hollywood Hills to Sunset Boulevard California ain’t that far |
