Hands clutched to the steering wheel
Your image dancing in my head
I think it's time to cut a deal
Cause if we don't I could be dead
There's still no sign because she's miles away
There's still no sign but she's out there
I'm in California dreaming again
Watch her as she pulls me in this fire
The sun is setting low along the city line
I'm rollin' down the coast towards L.A
I'm thinking of the last time that I saw you
Beneath those motel neon rays
I never stopped to think this through
And I never stopped wanting you
Will I ever learn
And now I'm running, I'm running from you
She broke my heart in that motel room
I can still taste the liquor on her lips
I didn't care that she was heartless
Cause all I needed was a fix
She killed my love and now she's dying to take
Everything from me and she likes it
She killed my love and sent me down in flames
As she pulls me in her fire
The sun is setting low along the city line
I'm rollin' down the coast towards L.A
I'm thinking of the last time that I saw you
Beneath those motel neon rays
I never stopped to think this through
And I never stopped wanting you
Will I ever learn
And now I'm running, I'm running from you
She always gets her way
She knows what games to play
She knows it's killing me
The sun is setting low along the city line
I'm rollin' down the coast towards L.A
I'm thinking of the last time that I saw you
Beneath those motel neon rays
I never stopped to think this through
And I never stopped wanting you
Will I ever learn
And now I'm running, I'm running from you
I'm running from you
