There's still so much out there
Remains to be seen
You've got your one way ticket
To the west coast dream
Don't throw it all overboard
Don't you ever let it get away
You get it all together
Get out on the road
You can try hard not to grow up
You can just get old
Everybody is waiting on you
Don't you ever let it get away
Drive out to the canyons and see the stars at night
And just for a moment everything seems to be right
The memory is fading, the people change
The plans you had get rearranged
Don't let yourself down now, you know what it means
To give it all up
For the west coast dream
Try hard to be somebody
Could be anyone at all
If you can just get something going
The rest will fall right into place for you
And the clock keeps ticking away
Drive out to the canyons and see the stars at night
The moment has passed, and nothing seems to be right
The memory is long gone now
People change their minds
And you get left behind
Your picture perfect sunset is not what it seems
You're stuck in a moment
You're stuck in a moment
And the love that you live, is the life that you lead
