Tonight I'm headin' down to California
I'm gonna sing my songs and I'm gonna pass the hat
I'm gonna visit all the memories that I find
And retrace every step when you were mine

Oh those southern guitars
Sing to me like a distant melody
Oh those southern guitars
When my friends are gone and I'm on my own
 I'm gonna listen for the guitar tone 
And find my way back home

I hear your voice in every song that I sing
I listen to the ghosts that haunt my past
Well I thought I saw you from the stage,  did I dream it
With the  foot lights shining up and I wish that...

Those southern guitar
Would sing to me like a distant melody
Oh those southern guitars
When my friends are gone and I'm on my own 
I'm gonna listen for the guitar tone 
And find my way back home

I hear that soft voice callin', I do
And with the sweet strains fallin' 
I'm once again dancing
With you

Oh those southern guitars
Sing to me like a distant melody
Oh those southern guitars
When my friends are gone and I'm on my own
 I'm gonna listen for the guitar tone 
And find my way back home

I'm gonna find my way back home
