[Verse 1]
Put me on a train
Put me on a one-way runway sky-high aeroplane
Girl, I really need a change
Get away, see the smile on your face
Find me a row boat, let it flow
On a river pointed your way
I'm thinking let's be spontaneous
All I'm saying is

[Chorus]
It's a long way from here to California and I
Must say I need you around and I'm
Not afraid to meet you in the middle of a
Nowhere anybody's heard of town
In a little cabin up in the mountains or a
Cabana on a beach somewhere
All I know is you're not here
And all that means is I've got to get there
Yeah, I got to, got to get there
I got to get there, yeah

[Verse 2]
You took me in your arms
Because for a long while
These miles been keeping me from where you are
I need a little sweet talk
Long walk, strolling down the boulevard
Well, can't you hear the "miss you" in my voice?
Oh, no more waiting, let's be spontaneous
All I'm saying is
[Chorus]
It's a long way from here to California and I
Must say I need you around and I'm
Not afraid to meet you in the middle of a
Nowhere anybody's heard of town
In a little cabin up in the mountains or a
Cabana on a beach somewhere
All I know is you're not here
And all that means is I've got to get there

[Bridge]
Oh, I'm on my way right now
Oh, no more waiting
Let's be spontaneous
All I'm saying is

[Chorus]
It's a long way from here to California and I
Must say I need you around and I'm
Not afraid to meet you in the middle of a
Nowhere anybody's heard of town
In a little cabin up in the mountains or a
Cabana on a beach somewhere
All I know is you're not here
And all that means is I've got to get there
Yeah, I got to, got to get there
I got to get there, yeah
[Outro]
Oh I got to get there
Oh I got to get there
Oh I got to get there
Oh I got to get there
