When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with my breathin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Ah, my buddy Jim Bass he's a-workin' pumpin gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour
He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tappin' on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Ah, California girls are the greatest in the world
Each one a song in the making
Singin' rock to me I can hear the melody
The story is there for the takin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with my breathin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Flyin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
People out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold
(Ooh, yeah)
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
(Gotta sing)
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
Rappin' on the radio
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
Slippin' out the back door
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
(Gotta sing gold)
People out there
