[Verse 1]
Any state or any decade
Any sunset, any bar
Any coast on any highway
Headed west to where you are
[Chorus]
California 1972
Would you find me, would I find you
Smoking a cheap joint in the sand
Somewhere on Sunset in a band
Would we be us but just more free
Still chasing songs and chasing dreams
I don't know why, but I still know
Just like time, we go on and on and on and on and on
We go on
[Verse 2]
Sleeping in a hotel lobby
Swimming out to catch a wave
If I saw you at a party
I know I'd have to know your name
In another life, we'd sound just as good on vinyl
And Kodachrome forever in a frame
[Chorus]
California 1972
Would you find me, would I find you
Smoking a cheap joint in the sand
Somewhere on Sunset in a band
Would we be us but just more free
Still chasing songs and chasing dreams
I don't know why, but I still know
Just like time, we go on and on and on and on and on
Yeah, we go on
[Bridge]
I picture you playing guitar
Somewhere in a canyon
I feel it in my heart
Like it almost happened
Like it almost happened
[Chorus]
California 1972
Would you love me, would I love you
Smoking a cheap joint in the sand
Somewhere on Sunset in a band
Would we be us but just more free
Still chasing songs and chasing dreams
I don't know why, but I still know
Just like time, we go on and on and on and on and on
Yeah, we go on, yeah
