I'm gonna board this greyhound
And ride it all the way down to L. A
You see I'm missin' you like crazy
And I can't stand to be so far away
Cigarettes and truckstops remind me of you
when I pass them by
And my mama always told me
"hold on to the good things that you find"

So I guess I gotta tell ya that I'm comin' out to meet you
That I really gotta see you one more time
I'd rather have you still beside me
Than have you always runnin' through my mind
Oh look out California
I'm comin' for my lover's heart tonight

In Evanston, Wyoming
I kissed you underneath a painted sky
We were travellin' like gypsies
Singin' to each other in the night
From highway to hotel room
And every place we stopped at in between
Oh I'd hear Dolly singin': you
And I were islands in the stream

So I guess I gotta tell ya that I'm comin' out to meet you
That I really gotta see you one more time
I'd rather have you still beside me
Than have you always runnin' through my mind
Oh look out California, I'm comin' for my lover's heart tonight

So I guess I gotta tell ya that I'm comin' out to meet you
That I really gotta see you one more time
I'd rather have you still beside me
Than have you always runnin' through my mind
Oh look out California, I'm comin' for my lover
I'm comin' for my lover's heart tonight
