Californiyeah

It's been a while since you've seen that sunshine

She asked me why, and I said, trouble on my mind

That ain't right

That ain't right

Said, there's trouble everywhere

There's trouble all the time

You're always looking for something you'll never find

That ain't right

That ain't right

I been up and down the one-oh-one, the five, the ninety nine

At least I know that it ain't there and that's why I left behind

And that ain't right

That ain't right

California's in my heart

Though currently it's torn apart

I'll make it back there someday (Oh, yeah)

If I have my way

Say, if I have my way

She said, "How could you leave that Pacific Ocean true?"

Ain't no one over there who knows you like I do

And that ain't right

That ain't right

Ah, but that's just it, when you know it too well

You don't see the view

When you know it too well sometimes you forget it's blue

And that ain't right

That ain't right

Now I miss California almost as much as I miss you

But why would I live somewhere where the bars close at two?

That ain't right

That ain't right

C-c-c-come on, come on

California's in my heart

But currently it's torn apart

And if you've ever seen it (Oh, yeah)

Then you know what I mean

California's on my mind

Not just now but all the time

I'll make it back there someday (Oh, yeah)

If I have my way

I say, if I have my way

Oh, yeah

Now I miss Sac and I miss The Bay

Say, ain't that right?

I miss Fresno and I miss LA

Say, ain't that right?

And I miss the Yuba River in the summertime

Say, ain't that right?

And you know I miss those girls so fine

Say, ain't that right?

But I hope to make it back some day

Ain't that right?

If I have my way

Ain't that right?

Ain't that

California's in my heart

But currently it's torn apart

And if you've ever seen it (Oh, yeah)

Then you know what I mean

California's on my mind

Not just now but all the time

I'll make it back there someday (Oh, yeah)

If I have my way

Say, if I have my way

Oh, yeah

Ooh, ain't that, ain't that right?

Ooh, ain't that, ain't that right?

Ooh, ain't that, ain't that right?

Ooh, ain't that, ain't that right now?
