When you close your eyes in Jersey
Winter brings you things
Whispers off the Turnpike
Rumors off of Route 18
Spoiling every memory of spring
The hardest thing I ever tried
to teach myself was not to care
But once you're all in
Once you're calling
There's no hiding, anywhere
But it's warmer way out west
And I'm waiting on your call
With evening breathing winter storms
I just want to hear from somewhere warm
On the 80, westbound,
Chasing things I whispered in your ear
After all my warnings
About leaving California
I cannot get gone
As long as you're here
Running from every rising sun,
Driving all day long
Salt Flats in the morning
Sierras in the evening,
Trying to get to Cali before it's gone
I'll be coming on like roses
Hoping you will be there still
But even if you're not
I have always got
One day left to believe that you will
