California Breakdown Lyrics - The Independent - Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers

Wheels on the bus 

Don't wanna go round 

We got another California Breakdown 

We was doin' alright 

Till everything went wrong 

Now we're stuck on the side of the road 

Where we don't belong 

It's the California Breakdown 

California Breakdown 

Jess is trying out 

For a little bit part 

This time she really nails it 

She plays it from the heart 

This could be her big break 

The one she's waiting for 

But now her only take 

Is lying on the cutting room floor 

It's the California Breakdown 

California Breakdown 

Feeling all alone far away from home 

Trying to figure out 

How she's gonna make it out in this town 

California Breakdown 

California Breakdown 

Jimmy's writing songs 

Out in Hollywood 

He just needs connections 

He knows his tunes are good 

Then he hears his song 

It's in a picture show 

Then he knows he's been wronged 

While he's sitting all alone 

And he's watching the credits roll 

Breakdown 

Breakdown 

Breakdown 

It's a California Breakdown 

Standing on the road where your dreams got poached??? 

Trying to figure out how you're gonna make it count here in this town 

California Breakdown 

California Breakdown 

Breakdown 

California Breakdown 

Breakdown 

California Breakdown
