lyrics

In northern California
By a town outside the lake
I find myself daydreaming
Of my wild carefree days
I can dip my toes in the water
As I gently sip my beer
Or jump head first into the river
That cold water makes me shiver

But I love to disappear

The music plays on all night
Even when the sun comes up
And everyone around
Looks like they’ll never have enough
The guitars keep on strumming
‘Til the sun goes round the bend
And it takes with it my sorrows
I can’t wait until tomorrow

To do it all again

And when I get much older I will know
It doesn’t get much better than the ride we’re on
And I could say, “I told ya”
But I’d just be wrong
The days when I got lazy
And the days when I got crazy
Is where I belong

So give me that cold river
In the mountains by the lake
In northern California
In my wild carefree days
I’m bringing all my friends
We’re gonna make some new ones too
And even if it’s snowing
California’s good for goin’

To find a better view
