She lived at the end of a little dirt roadIn a house where secrets go untoldBarefoot in a cotton dressDark hair in a tangled messAnd a head full of crazy dreamsShe said I’m goin’ to CaliforniaA place where the sun always shinesI’m goin’ to CaliforniaAnd I’m leavin’ everything behind You can’t help but feel a […]
