Gold

When the lights go down in the California town

And the people are in for the evenin'

I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar

With my heart beatin' time with my breathin'

And I'm drivin' over canyons singin' to my soul

People out there turn the music into gold

Yeah my buddy Jim Bass, he's workin' pumpin' gas

And he makes two-fifty for an hour

And there's rhythm in his hands as he's tappin' on the cans

And he sings rock and roll in the shower

And he's drivin' over canyons singin' to his soul

There's people out there turnin' music into gold

Yeah California girls are the greatest in the world

Each one's a song in the makin'

They're singin' right to me I can hear the melody

The story is there for the taking

And I'm drivin' over canyons singin' to my soul

There's people out there turnin' music into gold

And I'm drivin' over canyons singin' to my soul

There's people out there turnin' music into gold

Rockin' on the radio

There's people out there turnin' music into gold

Slippin' down the back roads

People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold

Diego and the monkey boys

People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold

There's people out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
