Golden Coast Calling

Verse 1

Gas tank

Running on a prayer

I am driving through the dust

Leaving every heavy habit back in Ohio

Cold air

Cutting through my lungs

Bitter winter finally lost

I see a golden coast calling out my name

Alone

Truly alone

Tracing lines on a map

Chorus

I am going back to California

Where the sun hides the grey

Going back to California

I will wash the salt away

California

California

Verse 2

Pacific

Pulling on my sleeve

Feet are sinking in the grit

Sinking in the sand

Sinking in the foam

Salt spray

Stinging on my skin

Waking up a ghost

Maybe find a way to feel like I am home

Again

Safe again

Quiet in the noise

Chorus

I am going back to California

Where the sun hides the grey

Going back to California

I will wash the salt away

California

California

Drop

California

California

Bridge

Tired of the hallway

Tired of the ceiling

Tired of the basement

I need a change

I need a horizon

I need to breathe

Westward

Moving westward

Fast

Chorus

I am going back to California

Where the sun hides the grey

Going back to California

I will wash the salt away

California

California

Drop

California

Going back

Going back

California

Outro

I am finally here

Golden

Golden

Wait for me

Just wait for me
