American Paradise

Do you wanna come on over Take a redeye back to me 'Cause your daddy, he's a pilot So you can fly for free California can you hear me? Does your sun always shine? On the East Coast life is dreary Not like my American paradise Lazy summers in the evening When you'd take me for a swim Only when I, when I'm dreaming Can I feel like I felt then California, please believe me Never leave me and I'll be fine All these people, so deceiving Not like my American paradise Riding horses in the morning Through the western palisades When the leaves die I'll be calling It always haunts me when things change Oh this country so divided With its science and its faith Give me freedom in the valley That is where I'll find my place California, do you love me? Do you want me in your life? 'Cause I need you, I adore you You're my, my American paradise California, do you love me? Will you hold me 'til I die? 'Cause I need you, I adore you You're my, my American paradise
