Verse 1
A5
When the lights go down in the California town

F5                     A5
People are in for the evening.
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar,

   F5                          A5
My heart beats time with my breathing.

F5                   E5
Driving over Canan, singing to my soul,

        F5                                   A5
There's people out there turning music into gold.

Verse 2
A5
Now, my buddy Jim Bass, he's a-working, pumping gas,

       F5                      A5
And he makes two fifty for an hour.
He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tapping on the cans,

F5                          A5
Sings rock and roll in the shower.

F5                   E5
Driving over Canan, singing to my soul,

        F5                                   A5
There's people out there turning music into gold.

Verse 3
A5
Oh, California girls are the greatest in the world,

F5                      A5
Each one a song in the making,
Singing right at me, I can hear the melody,

    F5                      A5
The story is there for the taking.

F5                   E5
Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul,

        F5                                   A5
There's people out there turning music into gold.

F5                   E5
Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul,

There's people out there turning music into gold.
