California

I'm coming home, California I've been away for far too long I never really meant to leave you But it's last call, then I'm gone I left my heart in California A six hour drive away it lays At the docks beneath Redondo And at the bar in East LA I left my love in Pomona To see what Hermosa had for me That journey took me down to Long Beach It was there, that I found, that I never wanna be More than a mornings walk away from the sea, so I'm I'm coming home, California I've been away for far too long I never really meant to leave you It's last call, and then I'm gone I've packed my bags, I'm out the door I couldn't take it anymore The only thing I know is I'm going back home Will I go back to Oceanside, and surf again, feel the rising tide Or maybe go back to Mission Beach, where I can spend the day outside And I've always heard about the stars in Santa Barbara And the nights in Santa Cruz And I've never got the chance to see the docks in San Francisco Just sitting at the dock of the bay I'm coming home, California I've been away for far too long I never really meant to leave you It's last call, and then I'm gone Now here I stand, at the end of my path Finally I'm home I'm complete, I'm content, with my toes buried in sand I'm right where I belong Where I can wake up early just to smoke And greet the sun through my bedroom window, where nothing here is wrong I'll sit in the Pasadena sun, guitar in hand, where I began And play this reggae song And it goes like I'm finally home, California I've been away for far too long I swear I'm never going to leave you I'm finally right where I belong I'm finally home, California I've been away for far too long I swear I'm never going to leave you I'm finally right where I belong Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles
