It could be the Christmas season |
|
Why I want to get away |
|
And just lately for no reason |
|
I've been thinking of LA |
|
There's a place called Laurel Canyon |
|
Where Houdini still has fun |
|
I've been dying for some action |
|
And a little bit of sun |
|
Let's catch a plane to California |
|
There are clouds about to break |
|
We'll take the first flight in the morning |
|
Won't that make a great escape |
|
It hardly rains in California |
|
We could stay there for a while |
|
And if it doesn't make us happy |
|
We could always fake a smile |
|
Oh, California |
|
We can go and visit Joni |
|
In her mansion in Bel Air |
|
Will she still be painting only |
|
Does she still have angel hair |
|
She has turned her back on romance |
|
So she lives there on her own |
|
We could ask about Alberta |
|
If she ever misses home |
|
Home |
|
Let's catch a plane to California |
|
There are clouds about to break |
|
We'll take the first flight in the morning |
|
Won't that make a great escape |
|
It hardly rains in California |
|
We could stay there for a while |
|
And if it doesn't make us happy |
|
We could always fake a smile |
|
Oh, California |
