Cali

It's lonely at the bottom I don't often feel as badly As I do while in pursuit of things I thought would make me happy When the fruits of labor rotten, ain't no stoppin' in the valley 'Cause they said y'all ain't gon' make it 'til you make it out to Cali She a dready-headed mama sellin' jewelry in the alley She's been California dreamin' since she sang it with her daddy Steady movin' west said she won't be another tally And she says "I know you'll make it and I'll see you out in Cali" They said you never know how hard it was That livin' on the road runs in your blood It's hard to leave, but you are always there for me And I know we're both working towards what comes It's lonely at the bottom I don't often feel as badly As I do while in pursuit of things I thought would make me happy When the fruits of labor rotten, ain't no stoppin' in the valley 'Cause they said y'all ain't gon' make it 'til you make it out to Cali She a dready-headed mama sellin' jewelry in the alley She's been California dreamin' since she sang it with her daddy Steady movin' west said she won't be another tally And she says "I know you'll make it and I'll see you out in Cali" Now that several years have passed and more We don't hear the words like we did before We proved them wrong, being sold as underdogs I will make this up to you before long No destination gonna leave me brain sick I ain't never ran from nothing so I've never been stuck My situation has complications I'll be damned if I leave anything up to luck I can't think back to a time where my Mind was cool to die getting sidetracked So sit back and relax and give yourself A minute figure out where your head's at We're all so quick to make decisions now it's up to our knees Opinions changing on the daily I know who I wanna be So I write it, and it's my plane, I'm the pilot All hands on deck to open eye lids and gaze on our new horizon Its lonely at the bottom I don't often feel as badly As I do while in pursuit of things I thought would make me happy When the fruits of labor rotten, ain't no stoppin' in the valley 'Cause they said y'all ain't gon make it 'til you make it out to Cali She a dready-headed mama sellin' jewelry in the alley She's been California dreamin' since she sang it with her daddy Steady movin' west said she won't be another tally And she says "I know you'll make it and I'll see you out in Cali
