[Chorus]

It’s lonely at the bottom I don’t often feel as badly

As I do while in pursuit of things I thought would make me happy

When the fruits of labor rotten, ain’t no stoppin’ in the valley

‘Cause they said y’all ain’t gon’ make it ‘til you make it out to Cali

She a dready-headed mama sellin’ jewelry in the alley

She’s been California dreamin’ since she sang it with her daddy

Steady movin’ west said she won’t be another tally

And she says “I know you’ll make it and I’ll see you out in Cali”

[Verse 1]

They said you never know how hard it was

That livin’ on the road runs in your blood

It’s hard to leave, but you arе always there for me

And I know wе’re both working towards what comes

[Chorus]

It’s lonely at the bottom I don’t often feel as badly

As I do while in pursuit of things I thought would make me happy

When the fruits of labor rotten, ain’t no stoppin’ in the valley

‘Cause they said y’all ain’t gon’ make it ‘til you make it out to Cali

She a dready-headed mama sellin’ jewelry in the alley

She’s been California dreamin’ since she sang it with her daddy

Steady movin’ west said she won’t be another tally

And she says “I know you’ll make it and I’ll see you out in Cali”

[Verse 2]

Now that several years have passed and more

We don’t hear the words like we did before

We proved them wrong, being sold as underdogs

I will make this up to you before long

[Bridge]

No destination gonna leave me brain sick

I ain’t never ran from nothing so I’ve never been stuck

My situation has complications, I’ll be damned if I leave anything up to luck

I can’t think back to a time where my mind was cool to die getting sidetracked

So sit back and relax and give yourself a minute figure out where your head’s at

We’re all so quick to make decisions now it’s up to our knees

Opinions changing on the daily I know who I wanna be

So I write it, and it’s my plane, I’m the pilot

All hands on deck to open eyelids and gaze on our new horizon

[Chorus]

It's lonely at the bottom I don’t often feel as badly

As I do while in pursuit of things I thought would make me happy

When the fruits of labor rotten, ain’t no stoppin’ in the valley

‘Cause they said y’all ain’t gon make it ‘til you make it out to Cali

She a dready-headed mama sellin’ jewelry in the alley

She’s been California dreamin’ since she sang it with her daddy

Steady movin’ west said she won’t be another tally

And she says “I know you’ll make it and I’ll see you out in Cali”
