Gone To California

"Don't Go" they said

Just wait here instead

There ain't nothin' out there you need to find

So why can't you see

That it's all you'll ever need

Just the safety and the comfort of your own tribe

But if I hadn't gone to California

Girl I wouldn't know ya

Underneath that redwood we fell in love

I didn't know what life could be

Before Yosemite

And the power of the trees along the coast

But we can take a chance

If we don't look back

We can live a dream today

Whether mountains call

Or the forests in the fall

Let the longin' in your heart be your guide

'Cause we ain't got time

Just to wait 'round and die

That old wind is telling' me it's time to fly

'Cause if I hadn't gone to California

Girl I wouldn't know ya

Underneath that redwood we fell in love

I didn't know what life could be

Before Yosemite

And the power of the trees along the coast

But we can take a chance

If we don't look back

We can live a dream today

But if I hadn't gone to California

Girl I wouldn't know ya

Underneath that redwood we fell in love

I didn't know what life could be

Before Yosemite

And the power of the trees along the coast

But we can take a chance

If we don't look back

We can live a dream today
