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 town 
 [bad word] 
Momma, 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 life 
You 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 

So 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  [bad word] me, believe me, I'm where I belong 
 [bad word] 

We're miles apart, but you're in my heart 
I keep you with me everywhere I go 
 [bad word]
