Winter’s cold in New York City
And the holidays have come and gone
Once you know that love is over
What’s the reason to be hangin’ on

I made up my mind, it was time
Packed my bags and I sent out to find
Some California sun
Just forget about the pains and start all over

Changed my mind in Pennsylvania
Almost turned around a dozen times
Didn’t sleep till Oklahoma
Back on highway’s field with broken lines

Driving through the snow and the rain
Couldn’t wait to chase away the pain
With California sun
Just to make me whole again and release me, save me

Here I am beneath the oak trees
By the blue Pacific shore
Walkin’ in the sand, I understand

And nothin’ changes but the faces
After everything is said and done
I’m still the same boy from New York City
In the California sun
