got a long long way to go over her dusty roads take my old brown suitcase and leave at the break of day i m not afraid of the distance some time on my side hear me singing my song california here i come when the sun s going down silence is the only sound oh restless are the nights when nobody s around i m not afraid of the distance some time on my side hear me singing my song california here i come day after day i m going over her dusty roads how long will this go on until i m there where i belong but now troubles are over i wipe off the dust on my boots hear me singing my song california now to come california now to come
