A dreamy trip to California of the mind. A chance to start over - where the grass is greener and the water is warmer. As the song says: "Maybe there's a girl out there..." It's a romantic quest, an audio adventure to a brave new world - where you can go surfing everyday.

lyrics

Here in New England the cold winds blow
Making it feel like twenty below
I need a change of scene
Where it’s always green

I’m going way out
Way out west
Going way out
Where the sun is the best
I won’t come back this way
No matter what they say
Cause I’ll be way out
Way out west

California’s the place for me
Sun and sand and deep blue sea
Maybe there’s a girl out there
One that really cares

I’m going way out
Way out west
Going way out
Where the girls are the best
I won’t come back this way
No matter what they say
Cause I’ll be way out
Way out west

Encinitas is where I’ll stay
We can go surfin’ everyday
It would be a dream come true
If you were a dreamer too

I’m going way out
Way out west
Going way out
Where the lovin’ is best
I won’t come back this way
No matter what they say
Cause I’ll be way out
Way out west
