Going to California

I left my home in Georgia
I got a million miles to go
I came upon the water
On the gulf of Mexico
And now I’m going to California
That is what I’m a gonna do
I love you like a lady
And I will love you till the end
I held you like a daisy
Until you flew like a wren
When I see you I get crazy
I won’t be seeing you again
Because I’m going to California
I have been to New Orleans
I’ve been with Apollonia
And the cortesian queens
And in case you say I never told ya
That is what loneliness means
He came out of Canaan
With a pocket full of seeds
And only a million miles to go
And came into the strange lands
In the rain and in the breeze
On the seas in the heat and in the snow
And it only goes to show ya
Just what some loving light can do
It will get into your soul, yeah
And it will see you through
And now I’m going to California
That is what I’m a gonna do
