Sitting in a park in Paris, France Reading the news and it sure looks bad They wont give peace a chance That was just a dream some of us had Still a lot of lands to see But I wouldnt want to stay here Its too old and cold and settled in its ways here Oh, but california California Im coming home
Im going to see the folks I dig Ill even kiss a sunset pig California Im 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 omelettes and stews And I might have stayed on with him there But my heart cried out for you, california Oh california Im coming home Oh make me feel good rockn roll band Im your biggest fan California, Im coming home
Chorus:
Oh it gets so lonely
When youre 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 caught 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 Im going home to california"
California Im coming home Oh will you take me as I am Strung out on another man California Im coming home
Chorus:
Oh it gets so lonely When youre 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 l am? Will you take me as l am? Will you?
