Making headway Dodging the stars the paint the night No rest in failure All of the things that come to mind Missed days of worry All of the turns that beg delay If we're going Let's give the time of day You don't have to wait 'till the sun sets The future is calling your name Friday night and you're on your own California seems so gold I'm not staying here at home Gold as the road Gold is the road Wandering logic Cut off from velvet taste of rain And always I'll bet The other colors still remain Fixed on memory Frozen in space and time So driving, hoping That you find the things that make you smile Don't you just sit there in waiting The future is calling your name Friday night and you're on your own California seems so gold I'm not staying here at home Gold as the road Gold is the road Wherever you go I'm not gonna No I'm not gonna Give up running Friday night and you're on your own California seems so gold I'm not staying here at home Gold as the road Friday night and you're on your own California seems so gold I'm not staying here at home Gold as the road Gold as the road
