The roads all end on the coast in California
You can watch the sun sink into the sea
Your dreams will bend when you get to California
There’s not much here left for you to be
But, you don’t have to stop
No, you can keep going
Find yourself an island
Dig your toes down deep into the sand
Take a strong when where you’ve never been
Find yourself a smiling
Heaven’s just a Tradewind Away
You get mighty bored when you’re staring out your window
The clouds seem to reach eternity
A plane flies by and you see it through your window
You know there’s somewhere else you’d rather be.
But, you don’t have to stop
No, you can keep going
Find yourself an island
Dig your toes down deep into the sand
Take a strong when where you’ve never been
Find yourself a smiling
Heaven’s just a Tradewind Away
You think nobody knows that you’re dreaming about leaving
But your mind’s a million miles away
And when you finally go after dreaming about leaving
You’ll know there was no reason left to stay
But, you don’t have to stop
No, you can keep going
Find yourself an island
Dig your toes down deep into the sand
Take a strong when where you’ve never been
Find yourself a smiling
Heaven’s just a Tradewind Away
Just a Tradewind Away
