lyrics

Sitting in a park in Paris, France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won’t give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot of lands to see, but I wouldn’t want to stay here
It’s too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh but California
California I’m coming home
I’m gonna see the folks I dig
I’ll even kiss a Sunset pig
California I’m coming home.

Oh it gets so lonely
When you’re walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
Just gives you the blues x2

So I bought me a ticket. I caught a plane to Spain
Went to a party down a red dirt road
There were lots of pretty people there
Reading Rolling Stone, Vibe, & Vogue
They said, “How long can you hang around?”
I said, “Maybe a week, maybe two, just as long as I can get down
“cause I’m already brown
Then I going home to California.”
California I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Oh will you take me as I am
Strung out on another woman
California I’m coming home.
Oh it gets so lonely
When you’re walking
And the streets are full of strangers
And all the news from home you read
More about the war and the bloody changes
Oh will you take me as I am?
Will you take me as I am?
