Take me away to January   I'm done with this year   I'm tired of everyone here   I just need some time alone   Before I'm ready to come back home   There's gotta be something else out there for me   I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream   There's more than this Midwestern town   I can't let this place keep me down      So I tell myself,   There's a girl out on the coast of California   There's a world out there and it's waiting for you   And I can hear them calling my name tonight      Take me away, I need the sand and the waves   The sunset and let's not forget those warm autumn days   I just need to get out of here   And visit the coast just to see her   There's gotta be something else out there for me   I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream   There's more than this Midwestern town   I can't let this place keep me down      So I tell myself,   There's a girl out on the coast of California   There's a world out there and it's waiting for you   And I can hear them calling my name tonight      Take me away to January   I'm done with this year   I'm tired of everyone here   I just need some time alone   Before I'm ready to come back home
