When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beat time with my breathin'

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold

Well my buddy Jim Bass past he's a-workin' pumpin' gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour
He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tappin' on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to his soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold

Ah the California girls are the greatest in the world
Each one a song in the making
Singin' right to me I can hear the melody
Story is there for the takin'

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold (ooh)

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold

When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beat in time with my breathin'

Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold

Flyin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
People out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold (ooh, yeah)

People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold (yes they)
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
Rockin' on the radio
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
slippin' down the back road
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold (yes they do)
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
