It's a 3 day drive if she drives all night
Say's she's leaving at the crack of dawn
Well, she might still be lying here with me
But in her heart she's already gone
Already packed up, the Altima's gassed up
She's done put the map up there on the dash
I'm all tore up just trying to man up
Damming these tears up but can't hold ‘em back

'Cos she's in love with California
And that west coast sunshine dream
These ain't no holly woods
And these hills ain't Beverly
Ain't no beaches on these backroads
No sunset on the boulevard
She's in love with California
And breaking my heart

Got a waitress job waiting in an ihop
Throw a rock and hit universal city
Got a glamour shot in her hip pocket
Hoping somebody'll think she's pretty
By this time tomorrow she'll hit Colorado
I'll be drowning my sorrow in a bottle of beam
Before she hits flagstaff maybe she'll backtrack
But I wouldn't bet that if I was me

'Cos she's in love with California
And that west coast sunshine dream
These ain't no holly woods
And these hills ain't Beverly
Ain't no beaches on these backroads
No sunset on the boulevard
She's in love with California
And breaking my heart

She was all mine
But now it's go time

She's in love with California
And that west coast sunshine dream
These ain't no holly woods
And these hills ain't Beverly
There ain't no beaches on these backroads
No sunset on the boulevard
She's in love with California
And breaking my heart

She's in love with California
And breaking my heart
Oh, she's breaking my heart
