California's Gold

Joni is running away
She was hoping to forget LA
She had boarded a plane
But when he found her
He went insane

He said come with me
We'll hide out under
The Neon Dream
Stay a while
See where the sun dies

They say California's gold
Can't be bought
It can't be sold
But I found some here
In your smile

Joni is under the gun
She's been working
Since the day was done
She forgot her last name
She must have lost it
In the pouring rain

She says come with me
And we'll hide out under
The Neon Dream
Stay awhile see where the sun dies

They say California's gold
Can't be bought
It can't be sold
But I'll loan you mine
For a while

I was running away
I saw Joni almost every day
I never knew what to say
But I'm sorry for the part I've played

Come with me
And we'll fight our way out of
The Neon Dream
Stay alive until we see the sunrise

They say California's gold
It can't be bought
It can't be sold
But I've got enough
To get you home
Yeah I've got enough
To get you home
I'll always have enough
To get you home
I'll always have enough
To get you home
I'll always have enough
To get you home
I'll always have enough
To get you home
