Lyrics California - American Aquarium

2794 miles from here to LA
243 gallons of gas stretched over two days
Two suitcases of clothes, a guitar, and some shoes for ballet
Two lovers who saw a normal life and drove the other way

California, California
We've waited on you please don't let us down
California, California
We're banking on you this time around

2-30 in the morning and he's counting the tips in the jar
2 stings of the 6 he's got to fix on his trusty guitar
Two blocks down the street she's there to meet him, and she brought the car
Too bad that she's the only one who knows that he's a rock star

California, California
We've waited on you please don't let us down
California, California
We're banking on you this time around

2 auditions down, 1 to go then she heads back to work
To a diner where she waits for her big break off 20 second and third
Today might be the day she hears the news that she's never heard
And can finally go home to a man that's going to be proud of her

California, California
We've waited on you please don't let us down
California, California
We're banking on you this time around

2794 miles from here to LA
Two lovers who saw a normal life and drove the other way
