California |
| 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 land to see |
| But I wouldn’t stay here |
| It’s too old and cold and settled in its ways here |
| Oh, but California |
| California, I’m coming home |
| I’m going to see the folks I dig |
| I’ll even kiss a sunset pig |
| California, I’m coming home |
| I met a redneck on a Grecian isle |
| Who did the goat dance very well |
| He gave me back my smile |
| But he kept my camera to sell |
| Oh, the rogue, the red red rogue |
| He cooked good omelets and stews |
| And I might have stayed on with him there |
| But my heart cried out for you, California |
| Oh, California, I’m coming home |
| Oh, make me feel good rock’n roll band |
| I’m your biggest fan |
| 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 |
| Just gives you the blues |
| So I bought me a ticket |
| I got on a plane to Spain |
| Went to a party down a red dirt road |
| There were lots of pretty people there |
| Reading Rolling Stone, reading Vogue |
| They said, «How long can you hang around?» |
| I said a week, maybe two |
| Just until my skin turns brown |
| Then I’m going home to California |
| California, I’m coming home |
| Oh, will you take me as I am |
| Strung out on another man |
| 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 |
| More about the war |
| And the bloody changes |
| Oh, will you take me as I am? |
| Will you take me as I am? |
| Will you? |
| Will you take me as I am? |
| Hmmm mmmmm |
| Take me as I am |
