lyrics

Gonna take that railroad, gonna travel by the street
7,000 miles from sea to shining sea
Standing on a rooftop in the Tennessee sun
Maybe we're just dreamers singing 'west coast here we come'

Went down to Chicago, packed our bags got on that train
Hear that Amtrak whistle blowing, windy city calling our names
Across the trestle our dreams began to glide
Voice in our head screams 'never felt so alive'

All of our doubt, all of our fear
We buried them deep in the ground
Western skies calling out
Won't catch us walking away
Ooo Nothing left to hold us back
All of our doubts, throw 'em away
Away from me 'way from me now

Went out to that desert land where Arizona waits
Stood over that canyon, it'll take your breath away
Onward to Hollywood where all the stars collide
Just another rooftop o're them Angel City lights

Up the coast to San Fransisco, sleepin in the streets
Golden bridge above our heads and the ocean below our feet
Through the mountains to Seattle and beyond
Look out now, we're coming home

All of our doubt, all of our fear
We buried them deep in the ground
Western skies calling out
Won't catch us walking away
Ooo Nothing left to hold us back
All of our doubts, throw 'em away
Away from me 'way from me now

All of our doubt, all of our fear
We buried them deep in the ground
Western skies calling out
Won't catch us walking away
Ooo Nothing left to hold us back
All of our doubts, throw 'em away
Away from me 'way from me now
