lyrics

When the lights go down in the California town
And people are in for the evening
I jump into my car I throw in my guitar
My heart's keeping time with my breathing
Driving over Kanan singing to my soul
People out there turn the music into gold

Oh my buddy Tim Bass is working pumping gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour
Rhythm in his hands as he's tapping on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower
Driving over Kanan singing to my soul
People out there turn the music into gold

Oh California girls are the greatest in the world
Each one a song in the making
Singing out to me I can hear the melody
The story is there for the taking
Driving over Kanan singing to my soul
People out there turn the music into gold

Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul
People out there turn the music into gold
Into gold
