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
Hhere's a world out there and it's waiting for you."
And I can hear it 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
Hhere's a world out there and it's waiting for you."
And I can hear it 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
