Right now I am in the land of nowhere And I need an escape So let’s see everything And find our way to the golden state I’ve travelled city to city Taking what life had to offer I’ve fallen behind and stood above I’ve seen the failure of success I’m the girl who grabbed every opportunity, but never made her own Broken from the preacher’s hands Running from a quiet home Trying to explore Choosing the poorer road But I’m gonna keep on driving to that horizon Until I find that bridge Cross over the golden state Is this, where I finally learn to live? Everything seems to be easier Everything is better with you So come along with me We’ll make history Fighting for that golden state of mind I feel like I’ve been running in circles lately And I don’t know where to turn Surrounded by green summers, and orange falls I need a view, I need to discern And maybe the scariest thing Is that I don’t where the sun goes at night The best thing I can make of this Is that I can’t go down without a fight But all I know is that I can keep on driving toward the horizon I can go until I find that bridge Cross over to the golden state Where I can learn to live Everything seems to better Where it would be you and me Against history Fighting for that golden state of mind And maybe my hair will be dyed by the sun And maybe your smile will never have to fade And maybe our dreams will finally come true And maybe we won’t have to fight for the better days Give me a reason, I’m tired of rhymes I need to get out of this place Take me somewhere, let me feel the rain People should remember this face That horizon is calling my name Where that bridge meets our new life Heading down the interstate Reaching to the golden state Is this where we win the fight? Everything is better here Life is golden when I’m with you You and me To everyone else we’re history I’ve reached that golden state of mind

Golden State of Mind
Right now I am in the land of nowhere And I need an escape So let’s see everything And find our way to the golden state I’ve travelled city to city Taking what life had to offer I’ve fallen behind and stood above I’ve seen the failure of success I’m the girl who grabbed every opportunity, but never made her own Broken from the preacher’s hands Running from a quiet home Trying to explore Choosing the poorer road But I’m gonna keep on driving to that horizon Until I find that bridge Cross over the golden state Is this, where I finally learn to live? Everything seems to be easier Everything is better with you So come along with me We’ll make history Fighting for that golden state of mind I feel like I’ve been running in circles lately And I don’t know where to turn Surrounded by green summers, and orange falls I need a view, I need to discern And maybe the scariest thing Is that I don’t where the sun goes at night The best thing I can make of this Is that I can’t go down without a fight But all I know is that I can keep on driving toward the horizon I can go until I find that bridge Cross over to the golden state Where I can learn to live Everything seems to better Where it would be you and me Against history Fighting for that golden state of mind And maybe my hair will be dyed by the sun And maybe your smile will never have to fade And maybe our dreams will finally come true And maybe we won’t have to fight for the better days Give me a reason, I’m tired of rhymes I need to get out of this place Take me somewhere, let me feel the rain People should remember this face That horizon is calling my name Where that bridge meets our new life Heading down the interstate Reaching to the golden state Is this where we win the fight? Everything is better here Life is golden when I’m with you You and me To everyone else we’re history I’ve reached that golden state of mind
