Not That Far Away

They're playing guitars, with stars in their eyes on broadway
They're just payin' their dues and waitin' for news on a big break
I wish you were here, 'cause sometimes i get lonely
Guess i'm not the only new girl in town

Mama, i promise i'll be alright
I'll call to say i love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story of my life

You know all about this dream i've gotta chase
I get a little closer every day
California's not that far away
We're not that far away

There's so many new faces and beautiful places in this town
I'm learnin' the ropes on this crazy road i'm goin' down
I'm makin' my way, no one said that it'd be easy
Trust me, and believe me, i'm where i belong

Mama, i promise i'll be alright
I'll call to say i love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story of my life, oh ooh

You know all about this dream i gotta chase
I get a little closer every day
California's not that far away
I'm not that far away

We're miles apart, but you're in my heart
I keep you with me everywhere i go

Mama, i promise i'll be alright
I'll call to say i love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story of my life, oh ooh

You know all about this dream i gotta chase
I get a little closer every day
California's not that far away
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away
