Sleep in your jeans in the back of a camper
Slip 'em off slow while the stars do shine
Drive through the night just to try and understand her
Why she'd ever wanna call that cowboy mine

California, baby, have you ever seen the darkness?
Have you heard the sound of silence when it's just right?
California, baby, I've been in this room for so long
And I don't have the words to say goodnight

California, baby, have you ever seen the darkness?
Have you heard the sound of silence when it's just right?
California, baby, I've been in this room for so long
And I don't have the nerve to say goodnight

So sleep in your jeans in the back of a camper
Slip 'em off slow while the stars do shine
We'll drive through the night just to try and understand her
Why she'd ever wanna call that cowboy mine
