My California

My California My heart is calling for you My sweet California You'll always be there for me You'll always be there for me I packed up all my dreams and I brought 'em with me All the way up to Boston down to Tennessee Trying to figure out what's gonna come to me But you gotta make your own opportunities My mama taught me nothing ever comes for free So you better work hard play til your fingers bleed Now you might think I'm crazy and you may be right But that's what's gonna make me win this fight Everyday I try to keep it as real as I can Livin down in Florida gettin way too tan Playing up and down all these southern towns 1, 000 miles every week that's how we get down I've had my highs my lows and a little so so Everyone's tryin to tell you what is good for your soul I might look lost yeah but I am found I've got both of my feet planted deep in the ground My California My heart is calling for you My sweet California You'll always be there for me You'll always be there for me Went to Berklee with a double E These people really don't know what it means to bleed Preachin about the music technicalities Suzuki taught me all of these priorities But you cannot believe if you do not feel Nobody can teach about life for real You gotta dive in & you gotta take off You better go & go and never never stop I'll work harder than you all cause that's what I know Keep my head down & charge like a bull This California girl has got her glass half full But today it's not enough because I'm lookin for more I've got a hunger that is burnin right into my soul Tryin to get my words out and into this world I'm quiet on the outside loud on the inside My minds on overdrive and I'm just here for the ride My California My heart is calling for you My sweet California You'll always be there for me You'll always be there for me I was born and raised in the Mendo state I turned 21 in the Golden Gate I know all the roads like the back of my hand They keep me company when noone else can It's were I broke my heart and then I got a new start Believe me when I say nothing will tear us apart I'll keep my calm and cool as a Norcal rule But I will shake your earth if you play me the fool From the Covelo Road, down the 101 Through the Grapevine, hey LA here I come This is where I'm gonna find my freedom Unless I'm sitting here just California dreamin I wanna travel the world, a dream of a little girl Pedal to the metal that's right, here we go Take 1 take 2 take 203 Slap the guitar, come on give me the beat My California My heart is calling for you My sweet California You'll always be there for me You'll always be there for me I'm a little crazy it runs in my blood For good, bad and ugly yeah just because I started at the bottom and I'll make it to the top No matter how many songs that I have to drop I'm gonna make it I will never give up Keep the beat going come on turn it up I sing it like I feel it like I'm livin it now I won't bite my tounge yeah that's how I sound Now I'm living down by the East Coast waves Alligator Ally and the Everglades Cruisin up and down this sunny state Next stop New York yeah we got a date I won't forget about my Californ I A My West Coast girl and her hippie ways I'll be comin home that much I can say I will be with you in my final days My California My heart is calling for you My sweet California You'll always be there for me My California My heart is calling for you My sweet California You'll always be there for me You'll always be there for me
