They're playin' guitars with stars their eyes on Broadway
They're just paying their dues and waitin' for news on a big break
I wish you were here
Cuz sometimes I get lonely
Guess I'm not the only new girl in town
Momma I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
There's so many new faces and beautiful places in this town
I'm learnin' the ropes on this crazy road I'm goin' down
I'm makin' my way
No one said that it'd be easy
Trust me believe me
I'm where I belong
Momma I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
We're miles apart
But you're in my heart
I keep you with me everywhere I go
Momma I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away
They're just paying their dues and waitin' for news on a big break
I wish you were here
Cuz sometimes I get lonely
Guess I'm not the only new girl in town
Momma I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
There's so many new faces and beautiful places in this town
I'm learnin' the ropes on this crazy road I'm goin' down
I'm makin' my way
No one said that it'd be easy
Trust me believe me
I'm where I belong
Momma I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
We're miles apart
But you're in my heart
I keep you with me everywhere I go
Momma I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away

Definatly one of my favorite songs. Go Jennette! <333 The meaning of the song is simple: She's following her dreams, and she doesn't want her mom to miss/worry about her, because she's doing fine and they are always in each others hearts.
