|
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 are left 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 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 omelettes and stews |
|
And I might have stayed on with him there |
|
But my heart cried out for you, California |
|
California I'm coming home |
|
Oh make me feel good rock'n roll band |
|
I'm your biggest fan |
|
California, I'm coming home |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
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 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 I'm going home to California |
|
California I'm coming home |
|
Will you take me as I am |
|
Strung out on another man |
|
California I'm coming home |
|
I'm coming home |
|
I'm coming home |
|
I'm coming home |
|
Yeah |
|
Take me as I am |
|
Will you |
|
Will you |
