lyrics
Lost in California, though I've never been.
Would you like to be there? Bake in the dry desert heat.
We'd draw maps on our backpacks, fill them with words from the road.
Sleep on the strip by the embassy, and make the Pacific a home.
We'd live in basement apartments, and crash on an old pullout couch.
Make up a story and stick to it, with the white light from the South.
We could pretend we're explorers combing the coast for lost gold.
Left by those sad, sea sick ladies.
We're homesick, but not alone.
And all that we have left for this great and untamed West is here in hidden corners (we'll make our way back).
