Going to California

Spend my days with a woman unkind

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine

Made up my mind, make a new start

Goin' to California with an achin' 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 'em tell ya that they're all the same

The sea was red and the sky was grey

Wonderin' how tomorrow could ever follow today

Mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake

The children of the sun begin to awake (Now watch out)

Seems like the wrath of the Gods got a punch on the nose

And it's started to flow, I think I might be sinkin'

Throw me a line, if I reach it in time

Meet you up there where the path runs straight and high

High, high

Ooh

To find a queen without a king

They say she plays guitar and cries and sings (Sing buddy)

La-la-la-la (Laa)

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn

Try'na find a woman who's never, never, never been born (Ohh)

Standin' on a hill in the mountain of dreams

Tellin' myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems (Ohh)
