lyrics

Too many memories of this town
I had a match I would burn it down
But the memories would still remain
Amid the smoke and the decay

I want to go where I’ll shine in use
An endless summer with an ocean view
And my dreams washed by the ocean tide
May finally ease my worried mind

Hey, California’s in my blood
Hey, you know a change would do me good
You brought me up to bring me down
I’ll get my feet back on the ground

Another sky, I wouldn’t be the same
Find a town where no one knows my name
And the loneliness it suits me fine
No one wasting all my time

I’ll start again in the Golden State
My heart will beat and the earth will shake
And the salt from the Pacific breeze
Will slowly season my unease

Hey, California’s in my blood
Hey, you know you really done me good
You brought me up to bring me down
I’ll get my feet back on the ground

I watch the jets leave their vapor trails
Pick up the phone but my nerve just fails
And I know I’m gonna take that ride
When I make my mind up to decide…

Hey, California’s in my blood
Hey, you know you really got me good
You brought me up to bring me down
I’ll get my feet back on the ground
