California
Jeff Daniels
GI ride down Sunset ‘till it aiCn’t no more
GBack to where I’ve never bDeen before.
GI’m lookin’ for something that I jCust can’t find
GI needed a change and so I chFanged my mind
GIn CaliforCnia   --- iGn CaliforDnia
GI’m on the outside and I’m looCkin’ in
GGot a heart full of trouble and a pocDketful of sin
GOh, them Holy Rollers run the whoCle wide world
GBut even Jesus would’ve looked at them prFetty girlS
GIn CalifoCrnia   --- Gin CaliforniDa
CI ain’t been everywhere, but every whGere I’ve been
CI’m always somewhere, always Dsomething
CI can’t forget, gotta see Gagain
CComin’ back to my loFng lost friend
GIn CalifCornia   --- iGn CalifornDia
[interlude]
GHot as hell and cCold as ice, never Gsure but it suDre is nice.
GAll is fair in lCove and war, and evGerything means sFo much more
GIn CalifoCrnia   --- Gin CaliforniDa
GIn CalifoCrnia   --- Gin CaliforniDa
