The dry heat left a cold breeze
Once the sunlight decided to leave
Five hundred miles of sand and snakes
I'll walk through it alone if thats what it takes
A highway sign said keep the faith
On a lonely road counting my mistakes
Eight more hours to California
Eight more hours to California
Eight more hours to California
Eight more hours to California
I watched the sunrise in Arizona
The pink skies kiss the orange hills
I rub my eyes to make sure it was real
Or was it all a dream I could hardly tell
After a while the pink fades to blue
But how the paints applied I could tell it was you, Lord
Eight more hours to California
Eight more hours to California
Eight more hours to California
Eight more hours to California
