I wrote a song for you when i heard about you leaving i was riding in my car staring out the window and the sun set out on the highway half across the country you were riding with the top down just like i knew you would be ::chorus:: singing California, Can you hear me now? Sing me a song that i can feel, somehow cause i dont need another reason, to turn it up too loud oh noooooo, can you hear me now? and i wrote a song for you on the blank side of a coaster with a pen i had to borrow was crawlin off the way so i bought another round for some girl from out of town and i made her feel like staying just the way you done for me but did you leave the top down in that desert in the dust cloud cause i can hear you burning out the stars ::chorus:: and you were singing California, can you hear me now? Sing me a song that i can feel, somehow cause i dont need another reason, to turn it up too loud oh noooooo, can you hear me now? so why dont you call me when you get there on that warm day in november let the sun set on the ocean and let yourself remember ::chorus:: California, Can you hear me now? Sing me a song that i can feel, somehow cause i dont need another reason, to turn it up too loud oh noooooo, can you hear me now? oh noooooo, can you hear me now?
