Not That Far Away Lyrics by Jennette McCurdy

Not That Far Away

2010

[Verse 1]
They're playing guitars with stars their eyes on Broadway
They're just paying their dues
And waiting for news on a big break

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish you were here
'Cause sometimes I get lonely
Guess I'm not the only new girl in town

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm makin' my way
No one said that it'd be easy
Trust me, believe me
I'm where I belong

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
We're miles apart
But you're in my heart
I keep you with me everywhere I go

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away
