Text: Jill Sobule. California Years (Dig). Palm Springs.

Went to the desert on a mission
To have a vision or write a song
I left real early, I left my cell phone
I took the Prius, it gets good mileage
Something's gonna happen
To change my world

I'm on the highway
I pass the windmills, I pass the outlet stores
Soon I'll find the sacred places
I've been searching for

Wild horses, hawks circling
Gram Parsons, inspiration
Big cactus, coyotes
Something's gonna happen
To change my world

When I got there to the motel
It was different than on the website
It was crowded, mostly seniors
There was a bar band playing
Bad, Bad Leroy Brown

So I went hiking, it was so barren
And it got too hot, so I turned around
(Ooh)
Went to the main drag

I saw the statue of Sonny Bono
And he was smiling
Something's gonna happen
To change my world

Wild horses, hawks circling
Gram Parsons, inspiration
Big cactus, coyotes
Something's gonna happen
To change my world

Back on the highway, wave to the windmills
The setting sun in my eyes drive to the ocean
That's where we come from
I'll throw my troubles to the rising tide
Something's gonna happen to change my world

Seahorses, sharks circling
Brian Wilson, inspiration
Smart dolphins waves crashing
Something's gonna happen

I said something's gonna happen
(Ooh)
I said something's gonna happen
To change my world
