California

[00:09.11] Sitting in a park in Paris France
[00:12.77] Reading the news and it sure looks bad
[00:15.42] They won't give peace a chance
[00:17.53] That was just a dream some of us had
[00:20.54] Still a lot of lands to see
[00:23.26] But I wouldn't want to stay here
[00:25.07] It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here
[00:30.19] Oh but California
[00:32.68] California I'm coming home
[00:37.52] I'm going to see the folks I dig
[00:40.22] I'll even kiss a Sunset pig
[00:43.28] California I'm coming home
[00:51.10]
[00:53.88] I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
[00:56.51] Who did the goat dance very well
[00:59.20] He gave me back my smile
[01:00.86] But he kept my camera to sell
[01:02.84] Oh the rogue the red red rogue
[01:05.47] He cooked good omelettes and stews
[01:07.53] And I might have stayed on with him there
[01:09.66] But my heart cried out for you California
[01:16.05] Oh California I'm coming home
[01:20.68] Oh make me feel good rock 'n' roll band
[01:23.87] I'm your biggest fan
[01:25.47] California I'm coming home
[01:33.33]
[01:35.38] Oh it gets so lonely
[01:39.97] When you're walking
[01:41.72] And the streets are full of strangers
[01:45.01] All the news of home you read
[01:49.35] Just gives you the blues
[01:53.55] Just gives you the blues
[02:02.48]
[02:08.89] So I bought me a ticket
[02:10.46] I caught a plane to Spain
[02:11.89] Went to a party down a red dirt road
[02:14.12] There were lots of pretty people there
[02:15.99] Reading Rolling Stone reading Vogue
[02:19.04] They said "How long can you hang around?"
[02:21.48] I said a week maybe two
[02:23.05] Just until my skin turns brown
[02:25.64] Then I'm going home to California
[02:31.37] California I'm coming home
[02:35.68] Oh will you take me as I am
[02:38.65] Strung out on another man
[02:41.16] California I'm coming home
[02:46.71]
[02:50.67] Oh it gets so lonely
[02:54.85] When you're walking
[02:56.96] And the streets are full of strangers
[03:00.12] All the news of home you read
[03:04.50] More about the war
[03:06.34] And the bloody changes
[03:09.56] Oh will you take me as I am?
[03:13.54] Will you take me as I am?
[03:15.99] Will you?
[03:19.17]
