I hope you finally make your way to California
I hope you find someone that loves you like I do
I hope your ships never start sinking
And your daddy, he quits drinking
And you hit every green light driving down the road
I hope you're happy
And I hope I never know
I hope the Eagles take a victory lap to Red Rocks
And you hear Desperado live from the front row
I hope the girl you're with knows all the words
And you buy matching tour t-shirts
And I hope your friends never let me know
I hope you finally make your way to California
I hope you find someone that loves you like I do
I hope your ships never start sinking
And your daddy, he quits drinking
And you hit every green light driving down the road
I hope you're happy
And I hope I never know
I hope that life don't give you lemons
All your bets, I hope you win 'em
I hope you're happy as can be
I hope it don't get back to me
I hope you finally make your way to California
I hope you find someone that loves you like I do
I hope your ships never start sinking
And your daddy, he quits drinking
And if you think of looking back, I hope you don't
I hope you're happy
And I hope I never know
I hope I never know
