Send "California" Ringtone to Cell

She lived at the end of a little dirt road
In a house where secrets go untold
Barefoot in a cotton dress, dark hair in a tangled mess
And a head full of crazy dreams
She said

I'm going to California
A place where the sun always shines
I'm goin' to California
And I'm leavin' everything behind

You can't help, but feel a little bit touched
When your daddy loves you a little too much
You can wish on four leaf clovers, but all the fields have been plowed
Over
And there's nothin' left to do but fly away

I'm going to California
A place where the sun always shines
I'm goin' to California
And I'm leavin' everything behind

Stars burn like candles on that two-lane highway
She made her wish, and disappeared on her eighteenth birthday
And she said

I'm going to California
A place where the sun always shines
I'm goin' to California
And I'm leavin everything behind

I'm goin' to California
And I'm leavin' everything behind

Oh California
I'm goin to California

Oh California
Leavin' it all behind
California...

    My Opinion:pretty much on jenna. and tugit, interesting thought. at first i laughed but its believable. but i like to think that it just means she was a "daddy's girl".

    General Comment:I think this song is about a girl probably growing up in a poor household, but in a close family, and everyone thought they would probably live and die in that small town, but this girl wanted to get away and go to california..the "place where peiple chase their dreams..

    General Comment:I guess it's about sexual abuse: "a house were secrets go untold" and "when your daddy loves you a little too much".
    It makes the child hide away in dreams and run away. I'd say: Go Girl...
