A pretty girl is disappointed once again
Hitches a ride across the border
Will pick up work in a bar on Sunset Strip
Knows a guy that says he'll sort her
This town will make you or break you
Don't say I didn't warn ya
Promises fade
While fortunes are made
in California
While she thinks of what it means to be free
She's not the one to make a fool of
She may not know but still she dares to dream
Quick tongue, smooth talker
This town will make you or break you
Don't say I didn't warn ya
Promises fade
While fortunes are made
in California
A pretty girl rides up the PCH
Though she's alone many adore her
She wears a smile to a line you may not trace
Worked hard, had a good lawyer
This town will make you or break you
Don't say I didn't warn ya
Promises fade
While fortunes are made
in California
