Only when you're in California You drive along the coast The towns you pass are often ruthless They leave you chasing ghosts Leave you chasing ghosts I'm dreaming of blue skies If I what if I close my eyes I rush down the freeway Slowly peeling back my brain Fighting for patience While moving to a faster lane I'm trying to enjoy the California rain Someone sang that when you're lonely You end up back and forth Tonight I'm leaving San Diego I take the 5 up North I'm chasing blue skies I'm starting to blur the lines
