california

pack your bags, we'll leave tonight
it'll be all right in the morning, love
by the time they figure it out
we'll be halfway to california

it'll be one hell of a ride
but i'll be by your side
just like the moon above
everything will be divine
when we cross that line to california

we'll change our names, we'll change our faces
we'll changes our attitudes the way
some people always do when they change places

every mile marker gleams in the night
every passing headlight a breath of gloria
we will glow in the evening sun
and we will be as one in california

i'll drive a cab, you'll be a waitress
we'll call our friends back east collect
and read the weather page until they all hate us

pack your bags, we'll leave tonight
it'll be all right in the morning, love
by the time they figure it out
we'll be halfway to california

end.
