California

Be still and know that I am leaving
I know that this is more than a feeling
I would much rather be anywhere, anywhere but here
But living’s not free
And money don’t grow on trees 'round here
California’s calling my name
California’s calling my name
I’ve never, ever felt this way
And I know I’m gonna go insane
Long hair and a cigarette
White teeth and an escalade
The girls in my town are looking for somebody to love
But they’re not looking for me
I take a step back, take a step back, take a step back
Take a step back and count my dollars bills
Well, let’s just say, let’s just say I’m not well to do
Long hair and a cigarette
White teeth and an escalade
Long hair and a cigarette
White teeth and an escalade
California’s calling my name
California’s calling my name
I’ve never, ever felt this way
And I know I’m gonna go insane, oh
I can hear you calling, oh baby don’t go
The sun is setting over yonder, baby, oh
Everybody drives a Lexus and I want so bad
Rubbing elbows with celebrities
I want you to be with me
When I step into the ocean for the very first time
I promise I’ll make our dreams come true this time
I can see you, come hither, baby, show me your moves
And we can move away tonight, alright
California’s calling my name
California’s calling my name
I’ve never, ever felt this way
And I know I’m gonna go insane
California’s calling my name
California’s calling my name
I’ve never, ever felt this way
And I know I’m gonna go insane, oh, oh-oh, oh
