| I got off the airplane 'long about 7:30 in l.a. | |
| What a drag to realize that everything's so different and so same | |
| All my california friends are searchin' for their minds and it's been right there in their heads all the time | |
| (chorus) | |
| L.a. blues, l.a. blues | |
| You want me to be like you | |
| Well, there ain't no way | |
| California charlie met me at my room when i got in | |
| We toasted country pickin' and the health of all our good and mutual friends | |
| Before the mornin' came we put a handle on the world and decided that we'd give it to the squirrels | |
| (chorus) | |
| Soakin' up that sunshine an' eatin' eggs and bacon over light | |
| Sleepin' through the daytime an' contemplatin' sin throughout the night | |
| Please hand me my hat and darlin' give me back my things ol' t's got a bunch o' songs to sing | |
| (chorus) | |
| I like california, i wouldn't put it down-- no way | |
| But i heard what you're thinkin' and it ain't exactly what i want to say | |
| Some day california i'll come roarin' back to you if you don't fall in the ocean 'fore i do | |
