The Alternate Routes - California Lyrics

I wrote a song for you
When i heard about you leaving
I was riding in my car
Staring out the window
And the sun set out
On the highway
Half across the country
You were riding
With the top down
Just like i knew you would be


Singing California,
Can you hear me now?
Sing me a song
That i can feel, somehow
Cause i dont need
Another reason,
To turn it up too loud
Oh noooooo, can you hear me now?

And i wrote a song for you
On the blank side
Of a coaster
With a pen i had to borrow
Was crawlin off the way
So i bought another round
For some girl
From out of town
And i made her feel like staying
Just the way you done for me
But did you leave the top down
In that desert in the dust cloud
Cause i can hear you
Burning out the stars


And you were singing
California, can you hear me now?
Sing me a song
That i can feel, somehow
Cause i dont need
Another reason,
To turn it up too loud
Oh noooooo, can you hear me now?

So why dont you call me
When you get there
On that warm day
In november
Let the sun set on the ocean
And let yourself remember

::chorus::
California,
Can you hear me now?
Sing me a song
That i can feel, somehow
Cause i dont need
Another reason,
To turn it up too loud
Oh noooooo, can you hear me now?
Oh noooooo, can you hear me now?
