Sittin' in a park in Paris, France Readin' the news and it sure looks bad They won't give peace a chance That was just a dream some of us had Still a lot of lines to see But I wouldn't wanna stay here It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here But California, California, I'm comin' home I'm gonna see the folks I dig I'll even kiss a sunset pig California, I'm comin' home I met a redneck on a Grecian isle Who did the goat dance very well He gave me back my smile But he kept my camera to sell Oh, the rogue, the red, red rogue He cooked good omelets and stews And I might have stayed on with him there But my heart cried out for you California, California, I'm comin' home Make me feel good, rock and roll band I'm your biggest fan California, I'm comin' home Oh, it gets so lonely When you're walkin' And the streets are full of strangers All the news on your reel Just give you the blues Just give you the blues So I bought me a ticket I caught a plane to Spain Went to a party down a red dirt road There were lots of pretty people there Readin' Rolling Stone, readin' Vogue I said, how long can you hang around? I said, a week, maybe two Just until my skin turns brown And I'm goin' home to California California, I'm comin' home Oh, will you take me as I am? Strung out on another man California, I'm comin' home Oh, it gets so lonely When you're walkin' And the streets are full of strangers All the news at home You read more about the war Than the bloody changes you wore Will you take me as I am? Will you take me as I am? Will you take me as I am? Take me as I am www.mooji.org
