Born and raised in this small ghost town
I’ll probably live and die here
Be buried in the ground
I’ll take my father’s place at the watering hole
These lines will age my face
Oh save me from this cold
We’re going out tonight he says

To all the girls looking for love on 2nd street
Oh I can hear your heartbeat coming in on my radio
And all the boys cruising down on the boulevard
Revving up your muscle cars
‘Cause there’s nowhere else to go.

California dreamin’ out my kitchen window
I pray for vacation to take me out of this snow
‘Cause I don’t wanna live life
Like the other girls vacuuming in a string of pearls
I wanna leave this town, next bus in, I’m out
No matter what the consequence

To all the girls looking for love on 2nd street
Oh I can hear your heartbeat coming in on my radio
And all the boys cruising down on the boulevard
You know they hold the keys to your heart
‘Cause there’s nowhere else to go
