[Verse 1]
AI can tell you abouEt the rain after forty dayAs of heavy downpourE  
AI can tell you abouEt the clouds cause they just won't go awayA  E  
aAnd I think it might be just tEhe time
to pack Amy bags and take a ride with yEouA  
baby, we're both nEeeding something newA  B  
[chorus]
Cause california sAunshine's calling my nameE  
lay me by the oceAan, I won't complainE  
don't call it a vacAation
don't think I evEer want to leaveA  B  
there's nothing like a blue Asky over the bayE  
to let you know that everythAing is ok, oh, E  
I just love Ato get awayB  
to caliAforniaE  
AIt's feeling good to slow downE  
take the top downA  
let's go driving aEll day long
I'm Afeeling kind of crazyE  
I think maybe I'Am in loveE  
and I wanAna turn the music upE  
tip back Amy cup and drink it all in deEepA  
cause there's no place on eEarth I'd rather beA  B  
[chorus]
TAake me surfing cause IE've never beenB

take me high, tEake me low, just take me BoutA  
Let's go dancing down Ethe boulevardB  
just bring the nightA  
I just might bring my guitarA  
it's not too hotE  
it's not too cold wheAn it's just rightB  
[Chorus]
AI just love get away witEh youB
