Take my time on the open road
Think I'll take the long way around through Mendocino
Abalone coastline full of broken shells
Lights a pathway to the land of fallen angels

Light me that candle and I'll unhook my phone
I grow tired of screens a flashing grey and blue
Oh dear sister we're a long way home
I don't mind waiting til I see you

Looking back I'm ready to confess
Life's a lot to handle, I'll pass the tests
I've gone through many changes, I'm ready for what's next
To ring through the ages and sing through the changes

Music's playing on the open dial
The AM band still flickers like a smile
Rock and roll's alive the spirit never went away
Just some people that don't care cause it don't pay the same

Listening back I'm ready to confess
Life's a lot to handle, I'll pass the test
I move through many phases, I'm ready for what's next
To ring through the ages and sing through the changes
Sing through the changes

The further you go travelling it's harder keeping track
Of everywhere you come to hang your hats
I know a man with dogs for all the different states
And each time California starts to sing

She rings through the ages and sings through the changes
She rings through the ages and sings through the changes
I wanna turn through life's pages
Rock and roll with the sages
I want to learn from my changes
