You broke your hand punchin' the clock so you could feel your heart
Took the Greyhound all the way West to where the streets are paved with stars
It's never too late to find your California Role.

The Hollywood sign burns through the smog, and reawakens your dreams
Livin' under this sun, disappointment's not as bad as it seems
It's never too late to find your California Role

Every girl, the next Marilyn (woo-ooh)
Every guy, Errol Flynn (woo-ooh)
Sometimes you've got to get at your dreams, and
Find the spotlight behind the scenes

Here in California
Man, I gotta warn ya
Find your California Role

Ya don't have to climb the Capitol Tower
Or play the Hollywood Bowl
If there's a roll in your heart and a
Rock in your soul
If you miss your shot, it doesn't mean you won't reach your goal

Be doobie doo (wee ooh ooh ooh) Be doobie doo

Don't drown your sorrows now, just take a dip
You can satisfy your thirst with just one sip
If you missed the premiere cos you never arrived
The best part of this trip just might be the ride

Here in California, man I gotta warn ya
Find your California...Role

Roll around in heaven all day
(That lucky old sun) Roll. Roll
Roll around in heaven all day
(That lucky old sun) Roll. Roll
Roll around in heaven all day
(be doobie doo)
(That lucky old sun) Roll. Roll
Roll around in heaven all day
(be doobie dah)
(That lucky old sun)

Roll
