On the road to California,
On the road to Tennessee.
Just to get a little closer
To the sight I want to see.

Where you see the trains take off
And the boats come in,
A rainbow ride in the morning,
Seeing your girl out in the evening.
And I don’t have to face the pain.

My love, tell me what you’re thinking of.

To the canyons way out in Arizona
Where they hand your soul.
A trail to ride, a melody,
Hold my hand and away we go.
We’ll be singing in the rain.

I don’t want to feel the pain,
I don’t want to feel the stain.
Sleeping on the sidewalk,
To go back.

My love, tell me what you’re thinking of.

I don’t want to look back
And see the mess I’ve made.
But follow this trail that leads to you
And together we can seal our fate,

On the road to California,
On the road to Tennessee.
Just to get a little closer
To the sight I want to see.

My love, tell me what you’re thinking of.
