I'm a country born
City-loving no one
I am only my father's son
You're an ounce of light
In an otherwise night
You are California someone

And you dress the part
And your record's clean
And you tell me to stand behind
My blind man's dream

Say you know the way
Say you won't hold me back
Say you know the way
Cause I'll find it on my own

I'm a sailor caught
In a hurricane's rage
I am set in my crazy ways
And you're a passerby
In the calm of its eye
And you tricked me to stay for days

And I know you're the one
I can see it clear
I look in your eyes
And my whole life appears

Say you know the way
Say you won't hold me back
Say you know the way
Cause I'll find it on my own

I want 80 years
Of metals and tears
Recognition of all my peers
And you had only asked
For the moment to last
So that happiness finds us here
