Driving south I moved away Calling home now LA The promise land is down the Malibu highway Sweet summer sun all year long Dries those tears from Mt. Rainer. I got what I needed you left me behind I learned I must earn there are no free rides I had forgot who I wanted to be It hurts to set you free I couldn't stand on the side anymore Selling a dream that you worked so hard for I bought my first car and I drove it away... headed south to LA You can't change the climate You can accept or deny it Either way the rain or shine wont change Our truth is silent You can't bottle or buy it No matter where I go it comes along I got what I needed you left me behind I learned I must earn there are no free rides I had forgot who I wanted to be It hurts to set you free I couldn't stand on the side anymore Selling a dream that you worked so hard for I bought my first car and I drove it away... headed south to LA
