Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Early in the morning you'll remember all the words just right
If you never wanna be a silhouette you've got to find your light
Yeah, for forty days and forty nights
You lie awake, I know you cry
But dreaming in your room isn't ever gonna get it done
Yeah, you got to walk before you run
[Verse 2]
Hey, son, go to California
Dance with the angels, dress how you wanna
Anyway, just like the river starts with a raindrop
You'll make it better
Papa said, son, fight like the great ones
Keep your chin tucked just like I taught ya
Anyway, who said you can't go
Where you wanna? California
[Verse 3]
So call me when you're close and you feel them city lights
Don't let the voices in your head talk too, you know they tell you lies
Yeah, for a hundred days, a hundred years
Yeah, there'll be demons, yeah there'll be fears
One day you're gonna look back how far you've gone
But you better walk before you run
[Verse 4]
Hey, son, go to California
Dance with angels, dress how you wanna
Anyway, just like the river starts with a raindrop
You'll make it better
Papa said, son, fight like the great ones
Keep your chin tucked just like I taught ya
Anyway, who said you can't go
Where you wanna? California
[Verse 5]
California
California
(Oh, California)
(Oh, California)
[Verse 6]
Hey, son, go to California
Live with the angels, love who you wanna
Anyway, you know I'll miss you
Just like your mama call if you want to
Any time you need a hand now
I'll be there now just like I taught ya
Anyway, who says you can't go
Where you wanna? California
[Verse 7]
Hey, son, go to California
Dance with the angels, dress how you wanna
Anyway, just like the river starts with a raindrop
You'll make it better
Papa said, son, fight like the great ones
Keep your chin tucked just like I taught ya
Anyway, who says you can't go
Where you wanna? California
[Verse 8]
(Oh, California)
(Oh, California)
(Oh, California)
(Oh, California)
