Lyrics
It's been a long time comin
Here I stand at the end of the line
All the highways travelled, all the dirt and gravel
All the paths worn in my mind
All the tolls been paid,
All the valleys braved for you
Though the sun is risin' our love is tumblin' down
On California Road
In the rearview mirror, lord I see it clearer
The wreckage left behind
All the growin' up, all the fuckin' up
All the things I never learned
There's one thing I learned
Stand tall and firm for you
All the littered dreams, all the in betweens are here
On California Road
California Road
California Road
It's been a long time coming,
Here I stand, at the end of the line
Crawled a million miles, through all the tears and trials
Just to find that piece of mind
You know I've made mistakes
There's no second takes it's true
Like a fool that falls,
I'm on my knees for you, on California Road
California Road
California Road
California Road
California Road
