California |
Well, he was from a small town |
In Northern Mississippi |
She was raised on the Puget Sound |
A third generation hippie |
Fate would take them to L.A. County |
And get them stuck in a traffic jam |
And El Camino and a red Trans Am |
Burst stereo was blaring Dylan |
The bootleg sessions |
And all the times, they are a-changing |
Made a pretty good impression |
She looked over and caught him smiling |
Under the California setting sun |
They fell in love on the one-o-one |
California, California |
California dreams come true |
Well, they got in with the in crowd |
And got off on the rock 'n' roll |
Cocaine spree and the music’s loud |
Backstage at the Hollywood ball |
They got the house and to paint the Canyon |
The partied at the viper room |
Blending into the neon gloom |
California, California |
California dreams come true |
California, California |
California dreams come true |
Well, you see them down on the sunset strip |
Trying so hard to be so hip |
Manhattan Beach to Malibu |
It’s all about the ocean view |
And who you know in Hollywood |
It’s cut throat but it’s understood |
Champagne Cooley, drink it down |
You’re the toast of tinsel town |
California, California |
California dreams come true |
California, California |
California dreams come true |
