Coast to coast

It's not just the bedroom where she used to lay her head
Or the front room by the fire where we once passed the night instead
Though I have left these rooms and gone as far as I could drive
Even in the motels along U S 405

Coast to coast and wall to wall
It's a memory not much more than five feet tall
But the shadow that it's casting seem to fall
Coast to coast and wall to wall

California seems like someplace I could catch my breath
Get my mind off someone who still worries me to death
Even though she's gone her memory unlocks every door
Haunts me now in places I have never seen before
