Going to California (How the West Was Won)

[Intro]

This is going to be "Going To California"

[Verse 1]

Spend my days with a woman unkind

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine

Made up my mind, make a new start

I'm 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, I didn't see too many this time

Took my chances on a big jet plane

Never let 'em tell you that they're all, all the same

[Verse 2]

Oh, the sea was red, and the sky was grey

I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today

The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake

The children of the sun began to awake, come on, children

[Verse 3]

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 sinking, ah ah

Throw me a line, if I reach it in time

I'll see you up there where the path

Runs straight and high, oh-ooooh-ooooh

[Verse 4]

To find a queen without a king

They say she plays guitar and cries, and she sings (Joni!)

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn

Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born

Standing on a hill in a mountain of dreams

Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems, ooh, sure is hard, yeah

Oh, it's hard

Ooh
