Going to California

Spend my days with a woman unkind Smoked my stuff, and drank all my wine Made up my mind to make a new start Goin' to California with an achin' in my heart Someone told me there's a girl out there With love in her eyes, and flowers in her hair Took my chances on a big jet-plane Never let them tell you that they're aw-oh, all the same Oh, the sea was red and the sky was grey Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today Mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake As the children of the sun begin to awake Watch out Seems that the wrath of the god got a punch in the nose And it's startin' to flow, I think I might be sinkin' Throw me a line, if I reach it in time I'll meet you up there where the path runs straight and high Find a queen without a king They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la-la-la-la Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born Standin' on a hill in the mountain of dreams Tellin' myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems
