lyrics

She was California dreamin' with her toes in the sand,

Moving to L.A. was always the plan,

She could see her name in lights,

As she drove through the hills,

Those West Hollywood nights,

Those West Hollywood thrills,

She believed that she honestly had a chance,

Even though she couldn't sing or dance,

Its hard living on charades and pipe dreams, babe,

But there's something to be said for persistence,

Where there's a will - there's a way
Where there's a dream, there's a way...

She was barely into town,

When her car broke down,

Her last 400 bucks,

went for repairs,

Never thought she'd feel

So much despair...
