California to Tennessee

[Verse 1]
Packed my car with sneakers and suncreen
Postcards
Polaroids
Dreams in the backseat
Goodbye palm trees in my rearview
Chasing something I can run to
Mom called
Asked “Are you scared
Babe?”
I laughed
Said “Yeah
But I can’t stay”
Got a playlist and a full tank
Singing loud
Laughing at my own plans
[Chorus]
From California to Tennessee
I’m finally doing what I want for me
New town
Same me
But I’m set free
Learning who I’m gonna be
Sunset west
But it rises east
I’m finding colors I ain’t ever seen
From California to Tennessee
I’m finally doing what I want for me (oh, for me)
[Verse 2]
Found a place with creaky old floorboards
Neighbors waving from a painted front porch
Friday football
Fireflies at midnight
Kinda crazy how it all feels so right
Got a job at the café on Main Street
They know my drink and they save me a seat
Writing lists of everything I wanna try
New life written in the sky
[Chorus]
From California to Tennessee
I’m finally doing what I want for me
New town
Same me
But I’m set free
Learning who I’m gonna be
Sunset west
But it rises east
I’m finding colors I ain’t ever seen
From California to Tennessee
I’m finally doing what I want for me (yeah, just for me)
[Bridge]
Maybe I was always this person
Just needed the room to grow
All these little roads I’m turning
Lead me somewhere I don’t know
And I like it
(I like it, I like it)
[Chorus]
From California to Tennessee
I’m finally doing what I want for me
New town
Same me
But I’m set free
Learning who I’m gonna be
Sunset west
But it rises east
I’m finding colors I ain’t ever seen
From California to Tennessee
I’m finally doing what I want for me
From California to Tennessee
I’m finally living like I wanna be

pop, Sunny pop anthem with bright acoustic guitar, bouncy bass, and crisp drums. Start light and playful, then build into a big singalong chorus with stacked harmonies and handclaps. Second verse adds subtle synths for sparkle; bridge pulls energy back for a reflective moment before a final, lifted chorus. Female vocals with a confident, carefree tone and a smile you can hear., happy
