lyrics

That family tree where I come from is blowin’ in the wind
The dirt road out the front door won’t bring ‘em back again
California dreamin’ hangs on him like a curse
Barstow or Shingletown I don’t know which is worse

Now everybody bears a cross from somewhere in the past
Those memories just hang around and the good time never last
She’s got those little ways of gettin’ through
She might even change your point of view

She’s a true believer like I’ve never seen before
A true believer keep comin’ back for more
Stickin’ with me like the only thing she didn’t have to be
She made a true believer out of me

Now guys like us we grew up fast just like our daddies did
Things we like to brag about and keep the rest all hid
So all you sons and daughters just pretend
Until the circle comes around again

To a true believer like I’ve never seen before
A true believer keep comin’ back for more
Stickin’ with me like the only thing she didn’t have to be
She made a true believer out of me

Some day we’ll have one hell of a story to tell
Of glory and of heartbreak and demons we knew well
She didn’t pack it in when everything went strange
She makes me feel my luck’s about to change

She’s a true believer like I’ve never seen before
A true believer keep comin’ back for more
Stickin’ with me like the only thing she didn’t have to be
She made a true believer out of me
