They're playin' guitars with stars in their eyes on Broadway
They're just paying their dues and waitin' for news on a big break
I wish you were here 'cause sometimes I get lonely
Guess I'm not the only new girl in townMomma, I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story of my lifeYou know all about this dream I've gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away, I'm not that far awaySo many new faces and beautiful places in this town
I'm learnin' the ropes on this crazy road, I'm goin' down
I'm makin' my way, no one said that it'd be easy
Trust me, believe me, I'm where I belongMomma, I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my lifeYou know all about this dream I've gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away, I'm not that far awayWe're miles apart, but you're in my heart
I keep you with me everywhere I goMomma, I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my lifeYou know all about this dream I've gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away, I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away, I'm not that far away
