Verse 1
Oh California, if there's one thing I like to see
It's miles of asphalt boiling under the sun
I'm rolling up my sleeves and I'll wait
For the moon rise for any phase it's in
Pray I see no black dogs running
And drive all night till the early morning
Chorus
Steer with the memories that swim around my head
Some are foolish, some so wise, and some just better off dead
And I won't slow down
Verse 2
Oh California. One thing that I'll see
It's miles of blacktop burning under the gun
Running state to state and I'll wait
For the sun rise and the calm before the storm
Pray I see no black dogs running
And drive all night till the break of dawn
Chorus
Steer with the memories that swim around my head
Some are foolish, some are wise, and some just better off dead
And I won't slow down
Interlude
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Verse 3
Oh California. You're where I need to be
I'm heading to your mountains
Through your rivers, on to your sea
And I'll make it only if I stay rolling
Break for food, smoke, and fuel
Come on 50 cent cup to burn up my throat
Chorus
Steer with the memories, that swim around my head.
Some are foolish, some so wise, and some just better of dead
And I won't slow down
And I won't slow down
