California

California you've been on my mind for so long now

I think about the sun

I tell myself I'm done

With bitter cold

But I can't seem to go

California you've been in my heart for so long now

I think about the coast

Back east I am a ghost

Of myself

But I can't seem to go

Well there's a light inside of me

Behind some dark gray clouds

Look real hard and you will see

That there's lots to cry about

So why should it matter

Where I am

Warmth or in the snow

You can't run away from your own thoughts

They will follow you wherever you go

California you've been on my mind for so long now
