Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My time coming, any day

Don't worry about me, no

Been so long I felt this way, in no hurry, no

Rainbows end down that highway where ocean breezes blow

My time coming, voices saying, and they tell me where to go

[PreChorus]

Don't worry about me

Oh, nah-nah, don't worry about me, no

And I'm in no hurry

Oh, nah-nah-nah, I know where to go

[Chorus]

California, preaching on the burning shore

California, I'll be knocking on the golden door

Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light

Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine

[Verse 2]

My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no

It's gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so

Seems so long I felt this way and time's sure passin' slow

Still I know I lead the way, they tell me where I go

[PreChorus]

Don't worry about me

Oh, nah-nah, don't worry about me, no

And I'm in no hurry

Oh, nah-nah-nah, I know where to go

[Chorus]

California, a prophet on the burning shore

California, I'll be knocking on the golden door

Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light

Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine

[Bridge]

Now you've all been asleep, you would not believe me

And them voices tellin' me, you will soon receive me

Standin' on the beach, the sea will part before me (Fire wheel burning in the air)

You will follow me and we will ride to glory (Way up, the middle of the air)

[Bridge]

And I'll call down thunder and speak the same

And my work fills the sky with flame

And might and glory gonna be my name

And men gonna light my way

[Verse 3]

My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no

Gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so

Seems so long I felt this way and time's sure passin' slow

My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no

[PreChorus]

Don't worry about me

Nah-nah, don't worry about me, no

And I'm in no hurry

Oh, nah-nah, don't worry about me, no

And I'm in no hurry

Oh, nah, nah, don't worry about me, no

And I'm in no hurry

Oh, nah-nah-nah, I know where to go

[Outro]

Oh, nah, nah, nah, nah

Oh, nah, nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah
