Not That Far Away

They're playin' guitars with stars in their eyes on Broadway

They're just paying their dues and waitin' for news on a big break

I wish you were here 'cause sometimes I get lonely

Guess I'm not the only new girl in town

Momma, I promise I'll be alright

I'll call to say I love you every night

I'm just tryin' to write the story of my life

You know all about this dream I've gotta chase

I get a little closer everyday

California is not that far away, I'm not that far away

So many new faces and beautiful places in this town

I'm learnin' the ropes on this crazy road, I'm goin' down

I'm makin' my way, no one said that it'd be easy

Trust me, believe me, I'm where I belong

Momma, I promise I'll be alright

I'll call to say I love you every night

I'm just tryin' to write the story my life

You know all about this dream I've gotta chase

I get a little closer everyday

California is not that far away, I'm not that far away

We're miles apart, but you're in my heart

I keep you with me everywhere I go

Momma, I promise I'll be alright

I'll call to say I love you every night

I'm just tryin' to write the story my life

You know all about this dream I've gotta chase

I get a little closer everyday

California is not that far away, I'm not that far away

I'm not that far away, I'm not that far away
