When the lights go down
In the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car
And I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin` time with the breathing
Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
`Cause people out there turn the music into gold
My buddy Jim Bash
He is working pumping gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour
He`s got rhythm in his hands
As he`s tapping in the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower
California girls are the prettiest in the world
Each one a song in the making
Singin` rhymes with me, I can hear the melody
Story is there for the taking.
