John Stewart (musician)

When the lights go down
In the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car
And I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with the breathing

Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there turn the music into gold

My buddy Jim Bash
He is working pumping gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour
He's got rhythm in his hands
As he's tapping on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower

Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there turn the music into gold

California girls are the greatest in the world
Each one a song in the making
Singin' rhymes with me, I can hear the melody
Story is there for the taking

Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there turn the music into gold

(guitar break)

Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there turn the music into gold

When the lights go down
In the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car
And I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with the breathing

Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there turn the music into gold

Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
People out there turn the music into gold
People out there turn the music into gold
People out there turn the music into gold

People out there turn the music into gold...into Gold
People out there turn the music into gold...into Gold
People out there turn the music into gold...into Gold
People out there turn the music into gold...into Gold
