Going to California sing and play along

Spend my days with a woman unkind,

smoked my stuff and drank

all my wine.

Made up my mind, make a new start,

going California with an aching

in my heart.

Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers

in her hair.

Took my chances on a big jet plane,

never let them tell you that they're all

the same.

Oh, the sea was red and the sky was grey,

I wonder how tomorrow

could ever follow today.

Mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake,

children of the sun begin

to awake.

Watch out.

It seems that the wrath of the gods got a punch on the nose,

and it's starting to flow, I think I might be sinking.

Throw me a line, if I reach it in time,

meet you up there where the path runs straight and high.

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Ah, ah, ah, ah.
