(aimee mayo/bill luther/chris lindsey)

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....
