California

We've been on the run Driving in the sun Looking out for number one California here we come Right back where we started from Hustlers grab your guns Your shadow weighs a ton Driving down the 101 California here we come Right back where we started from California Here we come On the stereo Listen as we go Nothings gonna stop me now California here we come Right back where we started from Pedal to the floor Thinking of you more Gotta get us to the show California here we come Right back where we started from California here we come California California here we come Oh California, California here we come California, California here we come California, California here we come California, California here we come
