All too often, I set my life aside
All too often, my dreams went sailing by
A chance of freedom, a chance of fate, a chance I'll take

I'll leave it all and disappear
I'm heading anywhere but here

All too often, the dreams I've dreamed have died
And all too often, I'm never satisfied
A chance of freedom, a chance of fate, a chance I'll take

I'll leave it all and disappear
I'm heading anywhere but here
Because I want a life, a souvenir
I'll find it anywhere but here

(California is gonna be the place for me.)

I'll leave it all and disappear
I'm heading anywhere but here
'Cause I want a life, a souvenir
I'll find it anywhere but here

I'll find it anywhere but here
I'm heading anywhere but here
