As real as Disneyland Songtext

Julian Dawson - As real as Disneyland

I never played San Diego
Never seen that Sunshine State
Or sunbathed at Redondo
Or crossed that Golden Gate
But I have to keep believing
Some day I'll take that plane
And ride from Maine to Mexico
And Texas back to Maine

I've never seen New York City
Never climbed that Empire State
And now I sit here and wonder
If I've left it all too late
And I'll never those freeways
The endless waves of grain
And ride from Maine to Mexico
And Texas back to Maine

And in my imagination I'm already on my way
In the backseat of a Greyhound bus across the U.S.A.
With the porter whistling Dixie to a Mariachi band
And to me the faded tinsel is as real as Disneyland

I was born in London
On the fourth day of July
In Washington they celebrate
With fireworks in the sky
I'm gonna leave this town behind me
The endless days of rain
And ride from Maine to Mexico
And Texas back to Maine

My mind's eye is a camera I'm already on my way
In the backseat of a Greyhound bus across the U.S.A.
With the porter whistling Dixie to a Mariachi band
And to me the faded tinsel is as real as Disneyland
