Going to California

Spent my days with a woman unkind

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine

Made up my mind to make a new start

Going to California with an aching 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 'em tell ya that they're all the same

Oh, the sea was red and the sky was grey

I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today

The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake

The children of the sun begin to awake (watch out)

It seems that the wrath of the gods got a punch on 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

To find a queen without a king

They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, 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
