babe, you know i wanna
drive to california
singing out the top a-
long to cyndi lauper
pretty girls in tube tops
waving from the gas stops
listening to old bops
while we drive on

babe, you know i wanna
drive to california
singing out the top a-
long to cyndi lauper
wild young and free in
your hot pink rv and
getting on our party
as we all sing along

in the back with the gang playing blackjack
take a snap when we hang with your kodak
in the front with your heels on the dashboard
on the hunt on our wheels and we go forward
glitter trails like the queens of the desert
ponytails and we scream at the concert
stop the show meet a friend if we get bored
on the road yet again and we go forward

i’m not gonna stay at home this season
got my girls and here’s the world just waiting for a reason

babe, you know i wanna
drive to california
singing out the top a-
long to cyndi lauper
pretty girls in tube tops
waving from the gas stops
listening to old bops
while we drive on

babe, you know i wanna
drive to california
singing out the top a-
long to cyndi lauper
wild young and free in
your hot pink rv and
getting on our party
as we all sing along

driving hard down the road in a fury
like the car might explode in missouri
never slowing no it’s all fine
there’s no going slow to sunshine
sew a patch from the store on your jacket
had a map on the floor, didn’t pack it
we don’t need no set location
we don’t need no education

i’m not gonna stay at home this season
got my girls and here’s the world just waiting for a reason

i just want my girls around me
i just wonder how they found me
sometimes we’re quiet in expansive black
makes me wonder if i’m ever going back
if i’m ever going back
if i’m ever going, am i ever going back

babe, you know i wanna
drive to california
singing out the top a-
long to cyndi lauper
girls in indiana
down to alabama
pretty in montana
while we drive on

babe, you know i wanna
drive to california
singing out the top a-
long to cyndi lauper
war paint streaks of lipstick
if we’re feeling homesick
got a little trick
just sing along

babe, you know i wanna
drive to california
singing out the top a-
long to cyndi lauper
pretty girls in tube tops
waving from the gas stops
listening to old bops
while we drive on

babe, you know i wanna
drive to california
singing out the top a-
long to cyndi lauper
wild young and free in
your hot pink rv and
getting on our party
as we all sing along
