"California 1972" lyrics

Any state or any decade
Any sunset, any bar
Any coast on any highway
Headed west to where you are

California 1972
Would you find me? Would I find you?
Smoking a cheap joint in the sand
Somewhere on Sunset in a band
Would we be us but just more free
Still chasing songs and chasing dreams?
I don't know why
But I still know
Just like time
We go on and on and on and on and on
We go on

Sleeping in a hotel lobby
Swimming out to catch a wave
If I saw you at a party
I know I'd have to know your name
In another life, we'd sound just as good on vinyl
And Kodachrome forever in a frame

California 1972
Would you find me? Would I find you?
Smoking a cheap joint in the sand
Somewhere on Sunset in a band
Would we be us but just more free
Still chasing songs and chasing dreams?
I don't know why
But I still know
Just like time
We go on and on and on and on and on
Yeah
We go on

I picture you playing guitar
Somewhere in a canyon
I feel it in my heart
Like it almost happened
Like it almost happened

California 1972
Would you love me? Would I love you?
Smoking a cheap joint in the sand
Somewhere on Sunset in a band
Would we be us but just more free
Still chasing songs and chasing dreams?
I don't know why
But I still know
Just like time
We go on and on and on and on and on
Yeah
We go on
Yeah
