40 000 feet above the ground

I’m on my way to california

I have always wanted to go there

Now i’m comin flyin through the air

Bought myself a new guiar

And spent the rest on motels and a rental car

Pretty girls and oranges and superstars

Neon lights and sunshine blocking out the dark

Even the bum seem to have a lot of fun

Dancing on the sidewalk in the sun

Good things are comin for the boy on the run

This is where a new era begun

Wrote a load of songs inside my mind

While driving round in california

Some of them might someday end up on the air

While some of them got lost over there

This is the one that I started to hum

Gazing out the windshield at the sun

Good things are comin for the boy on the run

This is where a new era begun
