(I Wish I Were) in California Before Dawn

I paid the cost but I never won
I never lived lysergic loops
Highway patrol, please let me roll
I wish I were in California before dawn
I wish I came to California before dawn

You just can't tell (you just can't tell)
What life deserves (what your life deserves)
But you can't forsake (no, you just can't)
The dream to rise again (light will shine again)
Light will shine again (on my rock 'n' roll dream)
On my rocking dream (let it rise again)
Just let me get to California before dawn
I wish I came to California before dawn

I'm travelin' southbound like a stranger
Following a comet leading me to danger
Waiting for the rain to wash away my pain
INSTRUMENTAL
I always tried to live my life hoping to live better
I never lost a moment for a tender word to say
I tried to learn to go on and on without turning back on yesterdays
And still I try, goin' on and fight

I always played a life of fool
But I've never scared to hear atomic booms
Highway patrol (highway patrol)
Please pass me by (please pass me by)
I wish I were in California before dawn
I wish I came to California before dawn
I wish I died in California before dawn
Before dawn
