Don't you wanna go where the big trees grow
Kelp forests waving in the sea
Opening day on San Francisco bay
Sailboats as far as you can see
May comes along, the days are getting long
Snow still covers the mountains
Sunset goes and the universe grows
So many stars you have to stop counting
I'll always come back to California
I'll always come back
I'll keep coming back to California
I'll always come back to you
Poppies in the spring when the mission bells ring
Rivers running freely over stone
A pick bangs the strings and everybody sings
The wind from the east is gently blowing
I'll always come back to California
I'll always come back
I'll keep coming back to California
I'll always come back to you
Crops are on the ground autumn's come around
Westbound fifty is where I can be found
Home is in my heart
It's where I got my start
One thing I know whenever I depart
I'll always come back to California
I'll always come back
I'll keep coming back to California
I keep coming back
I'll always come back to California
I'll always come back
I'll keep coming back to California
I'll always come back to you
