California - The Alternate Routes

I wrote a song for you

When i heard about you leaving

I was riding in my car

Staring out the window

And the sun set out

On the highway

Half across the country

You were riding

With the top down

Just like i knew you would be

Singing California

Can you hear me now?

Sing me a song

That i can feel, somehow

Cause i dont need

Another reason

To turn it up too loud

Oh noooooo, can you hear me now?

And i wrote a song for you

On the blank side

Of a coaster

With a pen i had to borrow

Was crawlin off the way

So i bought another round

For some girl

From out of town

And i made her feel like staying

Just the way you done for me

But did you leave the top down

In that desert in the dust cloud

Cause i can hear you

Burning out the stars

And you were singing

California, can you hear me now?

Sing me a song

That i can feel, somehow

Cause i dont need

Another reason

To turn it up too loud

Oh noooooo, can you hear me now?

So why dont you call me

When you get there

On that warm day

In november

Let the sun set on the ocean

And let yourself remember

California

Can you hear me now?

Sing me a song

That i can feel, somehow

Cause i dont need

Another reason

To turn it up too loud

Oh noooooo, can you hear me now?

Oh noooooo, can you hear me now?
