I saw her at the truck stop thumbin' for a ride
She was looking for a hipster and i was happy to oblige
Drove for days across the desert heading west towards the coast
In search of nights warmed by the sum and that California Gold
And the sun is always shining and the roads are always dry
We left our past behind us and a whole lot more besides
Found a house in Costa Mesa tried hard to settle down
We'd waste our days singing songs as we drove from town to town
Didn't always have the money that we needed to survive
Sometimes we took from others living like Bonnie and Clyde
Now if the people want an outlaw I'll be an outlaw and I'll be damned
This ride won't last forever and it's time to make a stand
And the sun is always shining and the roads are always dry
We left our past behind us and a whole lot more besides
There ain't nothin on the horizon and our time here is done
Don't care about tomorrow 'cause we're living on the run
And the sun is always shining and the roads are always dry
We left our past behind us and a whole lot more besides
There ain't nothin on the horizon and our time here is done
Don't care about tomorrow 'cause we're living on the run
Keep on
Keep on searchin'
For my Californian Gold
