As Seen On TV
 
Took a chance on a dream in the Golden State
Packed up a truck and made our escape
Two thousand miles into the setting sun
Look out California, here we come
 
The kids are grown
The air is cold
The ice is slick
We’ve got to go
Out to California as seen on TV
One barky schnauzer, my sweetie and me
 
It’s hard to leave
It’s hard to change
There are some things in life you can’t arrange
But when a dream keeps knocking on your front door
You can answer it
Or pretend you’re not home
 
At the end of the road, we were in Ocean Beach
Surfers, hamburgers, Pacific breeze
A Dr. Seuss wonderland of strange looking trees
At the end of the rainbow, we’re down on our knees
 
Never said we didn’t stumble
Never said we didn’t fall
Never said it was easy doing it all
But there’s joy in the journey
When I’m holding your hand
Look at us living in the Promised Land
