California Riots

Well, I pulled off the gravel with my California dreams

Leaving everything I ever loved being

Well, I left Alabama, but it never once left me

And it's still the only refuge in my mind

'Cause where you gonna be when half of California riots?

Where you gonna run to when the lights go out?

Well, I won't be hanging out in California, I won't try it

Buddy, I'll be up and headed south

All the women here look perfect and it hardly ever rains

And for some folks here, I'm sure it's paradise

Well, I'll dabble with the fortune and rub elbows with the fame

But I'll be damned if this is where I'm gonna die

Hey, where you gonna be when half of California riots?

Where you gonna run to when the lights go out?

Well, I won't be hanging out in California, I won't try it

Buddy, I'll be up and headed south

The first ticket out

I ain't going down to LA

I never thought I'd get get to see the inside of a limousine

Or a beauty shop on South Rodeo Drive

But being sucked into a world where things are seldom what they seem

Makes you wonder how you'll make out alive

And where you gonna be when half of California riots?

Where you gonna run to when the lights go out?

Well, I won't be hanging out in California, I won't try it

Buddy, I'll be up and headed South

Oh, buddy, I'll be up and headed South
