Fact is she wants to leave her husband - forever!!! We don't know in which State they live, but I guess it must be quite a long trip to California. I think that she wants to be as far away from her husband as possible. And California is called the "Sunshine State", a nice place to try and start a new life.
So what about this "Stop in Nevada"? You really think she wrote this, so he could follow her and get her back? And how?? She only wrote "Nevada", not the name of any city!
The obvious reason: She wants a divorce!
Nevada is famous for its quick and unproblematic divorce legislation. Does it really take a European (I'm German) to explain to you the real meaning of this song?
By the way, if you know the song "Don't go down to Reno" by Tony Christie, this song is about the same situation! You probably know that Reno is a city in Nevada...
Dude, you are so totally wrong...
