Lately, I just wanna drive I just wanna go far away It seems like everybody I know is going through it Were so young and so stupid We know it Well I wanna break the rules and be a rebel Let the highway take me wherever I've been California dreaming forever And I'm gonna chase it, ’cause I'm tired of waiting On all of the stars to align Or for the moment to feel just right Oh I'm tired of waiting on my turn it’s time I go I've been dead for a while, but I'm coming to life Lately I just wanna fly I just wanna go far away It seems like everybody, says I'll never do it I'm too young and too stupid but I'll show them That I'm gonna break the rules and be a rebel Let the highway take me wherever I've been California dreaming forever And I'm going to chase it, ‘cause I'm tired of waiting On all of the stars to align Or for the moment to feel just right Oh I'm tired of waiting on my turn its time I go I've been dead for a while but I'm coming to life
