California

Driven through the canyons I was dazzled by the mountains and we didn't go very far Close enough to heaven If you climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star I tried to get inside I bought a ticket with my pride And I was gone right out of my head I went out for a ride to go across a great divide And I ended up at home instead California I thought I should see Now I'm back home, yeah With twelve little pieces of me I was just a pa*senger a rider on the tremors That were shaking all our beds at night A visitor a stranger thought I might pa*s For a regular if I just kept out of the lights I tore my heart out from my chest Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul Chose the ones I loved the most Drove them all down to the coast threw them in a big black hole California I thought I should see Now I'm back home, yeah With twelve little pieces of me California I dreamed I would find Some kinda sorta pick-me-up I got twelve little pieces of my mind California I thought I should see Now I'm back home, yeah With twelve little pieces of me California I dreamed I would find Some kinda sorta pick-me-up I got twelve little pieces of my mind Twelve little pieces of my mind Twelve little pieces of my mind Twelve little pieces of my mind
