This song is not saying things about the real California 37 that connects the cities of Novato, CA and Vallejo, CA.
[Verse 1]
Knock knock, who's there?
2012 is a brand new year
Cleaning house, singing songs
Shedding light and righting wrongs
Ding dong, the witch ain't dead
She's still trying to take my bread
Four more years 'til my girls all gone
Then the bitch gonna have to leave me alone
It's all good, 'cause I'm as happy as a flea
On a mountain of dogs, you see
A little music cured all the hurt
And put hate in six feet of dirt
[Chorus]
I was looking for some heaven
There's no need to look no more
California 37
Took me right to heaven's door
Knock knock, woah-oh
Rock and roll
California 37
Took me right to heaven's door
[Verse 2]
Here's to those who didn't think
Train could ever roll again
You were the fuel that I used when
Inspiration hit a dead end
San Francisco got it done, 415 took the 911
Thank you all for believing in
We won't let you down again
Truth is, it was attitude
Replaced greed with gratitude
Then replaced a pretty key dude
It's all truth, not being rude
Making love now, not mistakes
Working hard instead of looking for breaks
Came all the way from the eighth great lake
And found 37 reasons to stay
[Chorus]
I was looking for some heaven
There's no need to look no more
California 37
Took me right to heaven's door
Knock knock, woah-oh
Rock and roll
California 37
Took me right to heaven's door
[Outro]
I was looking for some heaven
There's no need to look no more
California 37
Took me right to heaven's door

“California 37” is a state highway in the North San Francisco Bay Area in northern California. “ding dong the witch ain’t dead” is playing off of the famous quote from The Wizard of Oz which is “ding dong the witch is dead”. He’s just switching the words “is dead” to “ain’t dead”.
