Take me away to January I'm done with this year, I'm tired of everyone here I just need some time alone Before I'm ready to come back home There's gotta be something else out there for me I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream There's more than this Midwestern town I can't let this place keep me down So I tell myself "There's a girl out on the coast of California, There's a world out there and it's waiting for you." And I can hear them calling my name tonight. Take me away, I need the sand and the waves The sunset and let's not forget those warm autumn days I just need to get out of here And visit the coast just to see her There's gotta be something else out there for me I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream There's more than this Midwestern town I can't let this place keep me down So I tell myself "There's a girl out on the coast of California, There's a world out there and it's waiting for you." And I can hear them calling my name tonight. Take me away to January I'm done with this year, I'm tired of everyone here I just need some time alone Before I'm ready to come back home
