GoingtoCalifornia

Spent my days with a woman unkind

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine

Made up my mind to make a new start

Going to California with an aching 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 them tell you that they're all the same

Oh the sea was red and the sky was grey

Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today

The mountains and the canyons started to tremble

And shake as the children of the sun began to awake

Seems that the wrath of the Gods

Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow

I think I might be sinking

Throw me a line if I reach it in time

I'll meet you up there where the path

Runs straight and high

To find a queen without a king

They say she plays guitar and cries and sings la la la

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn

Trying to find a woman who's never never never been born

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams

Telling myself it's not as hard hard hard as it seems
