Singer/Songwriter John Stewart delivers a solid slice of LA rock, backed by two members of one of the biggest rock bands at that time - Fleetwood Mac. The two unknowns were Lindsey Buckingham, who provides the great guitar on this Stewart-penned track, while John duetted on vocals with Stevie Nicks. A great song and fine example of late 1970's soft rock.
Lyrics:
When the lights go down in the California town People are in for the evening I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar My heartbeat in time with my breathing Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul There's people out there turning music into gold Ah, my buddy Jim Bass, he's a-working pumping gas And he makes two-fifty for an hour He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tapping on the cans Sings rock and roll in the shower Driving over Kanan, singing to his soul There's people out there turning music into gold Ah, California girls are the greatest in the world Each one a song in the making Singing right to me, I can hear the melody Story is there for the taking Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul There's people out there turning music into gold (Ooh) Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul There's people out there turning music into gold When the lights go down in the California town People are in for the evening I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar My heartbeat in time with my breathing Driving over Kanan, singing to my soul There's people out there turning music into gold Flying over Kanan, singing to my soul People out there turning music into gold People out there turning music into gold People out there turning music into gold (Ooh, yeah) People out there turning music into gold (into gold) People out there turning music into gold (into gold) People out there turning music into gold (into gold) (Yes, babe) People out there turning music into gold (into gold) Rocking on the radio People out there turning music into gold (into gold) Slipping down the back road People out there turning music into gold (into gold) People out there turning music into gold (into gold)
