Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Forty, forty dollars to the man that wanna go
Twenty, twenty to the sister with the ticket at the grocery store
I wish someone would get mine
If you got an extra dollar can you lend it to a man who's poor?
[Verse 2]
I been up, but I ain't down
I been lost, but now I'm found
I been defeated for sure
But now I got a chance and the city better let me go
[Verse 3]
I can't wait to get a ride to California
'Cause it makes sense to go to California
If Hollywood is where it's at let's go to California
'Cause it makes sense to go to California
Can I get a bump? No, let's just go
L.A., whoa, got no money, sure
If you was me, see, you'd do the same thing, you know?
So leave your bags at your mama's door
[Verse 4]
Goin', goin', goin' to the man in the back
Cut the line if you feel me, let me hear you say it one more time
I've set my mind to break free
Now my body's gettin' loose while I'm sinkin' like a dancin' tree
[Verse 5]
I been up, but I ain't down
I been lost, but now I'm found
I need to live and for sure
If you got another seat on the bus will you let me go?
[Verse 6]
I can't wait to get a ride to California
'Cause it makes sense to go to California
If Hollywood is where it's at let's go to California
'Cause it makes sense to go to California
Can I get a bump? No, let's just go
L.A., whoa, got no money, sure
If you was me, see, you'd do the same thing, you know?
So leave your bags at your mama's door
[Verse 7]
I really gotta catch that ride, I need to find a place in line
I'm pickin' up an L.A. vibe, I really wanna go this time
I really gotta catch that ride, I need to find a place in line
I'm pickin' up an L.A. vibe, I really wanna go this time, whoa
[Verse 8]
I can't wait to get a ride to California
'Cause it makes sense to go to California
If Hollywood is where it's at let's go to California
'Cause it makes sense to go to California
Can I get a bump? No, let's just go
L.A., whoa, got no money, sure
If you was me, see, you'd do the same thing, you know?
So leave your bags at your mama's door
[Verse 9]
Interstate freeway, green light, go
You can even get a plane or a train if the traffic's slow
I bet you won't beat me
I been waitin' for a mighty long time so you best believe
[Verse 10]
I been up, but I ain't down
I been lost, but now I'm found
I need a ticket, for sure
If you got another seat on the plane will you let me go?
[Verse 11]
Hey, break free
Hey, break free
Hey, break free
Hey, come go with me
Hey, break free
Hey, break free
Hey, come go with me
Hey, whoa
[Verse 12]
I can't wait to get a ride to California
'Cause it makes sense to go to California
If Hollywood is where it's at let's go to California
'Cause it makes sense to go to California
Can I get a bump? No, let's just go
L.A., whoa, got no money, sure
If you was me, see, you'd do the same thing, you know?
So leave your bags at your mama's door
[Verse 13]
Break free, break free, break free, break free
Break free, break free, break free, break free
