In a perfect world, this Paper Mill town
Would've been enough to keep you around
But you never seen California
And you're thinkin' it was made just for ya (for ya)
Got some memories to make and chances to take
And a big sun settin' you know you wanna chase
But somewhere down the line, I bet I cross your mind
Now that life in the fast lane slows down one day
And all the glitter ain't turnin' to gold
And you start missin' you some dirt on a road
You're gonna wake up, dreamin' 'bout forever
When that good-as-it-gets could get a little better
Baby, I know you gotta go and do your thing
But you're gonna want somebody like me someday
Now, a made-for-you burnt CD
And the hum of my Chevy comin' down the street
And I love you in the dust of the dash
And your toe prints there on the glass
You're gonna want you some of that
Now that life in the fast lane slows down one day
And all the glitter ain't turnin' to gold
And you start missin' you some dirt on a road
You're gonna wake up, dreamin' 'bout forever
When that good-as-it-gets could get a little better
Baby, I know you gotta go and do your thing
But you're gonna want somebody like me someday
Yeah, that tailgate and the stars above
No, they ain't seen the last of us
Now that life in the fast lane slows down one day
And all the glitter ain't turnin' to gold
And you start missin' you some dirt on a road
You're gonna wake up, dreamin' 'bout forever
When that good-as-it-gets could get a little better
Baby, I know you gotta go and do your thing
But you're gonna want somebody like me someday
Like me someday
Oh yeah, like me someday
Mmm
