They're playing guitars with stars their eyes on Broadway
They're just paying their dues
And waiting for news on a big break
I wish you were here
'Cuz sometimes I get lonely
Guess I'm not the only new girl in town
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 my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
There's 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
Trust me
Believe me
I'm where I belong
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 my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
We're miles apart
But you're in my heart
I keep you with me everywhere I go
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 my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away
