Lyrics California

Sitting in a park in Paris France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot of lands to see but I wouldn't wanna stay here
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh but California
California I'm coming home
I'm gonna see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a sunset pig
California I'm coming home
I met a redneck on a Grecian isle who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile but he kept my camera to sell
Oh the rogue
The red, red rogue
He cooked good omelets and stews
And I might have stayed on with him there but my heart cried out for you
California
Oh California I'm coming home
Oh make me feel good rock and roll band
I'm your biggest fan
California I'm coming home
Oh it gets so lonely when you're walking and the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read just give you the blues
Just give you the blues
So I bought me a ticket
I got on a plane to Spain
Went to a party down a red dirt road
There were lots of pretty people there reading Rolling Stone
Reading Vogue
They said How long can you hang around
I said a week maybe two
Just until my skin turns brown
Then I'm going home to California
California I'm coming home
Oh
Will you take me as I am
Strung out on another man
California I'm coming home
Oh it gets so lonely when you're walking and the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read are about the war and the bloody changes
Oh
Will you take me as I am
Will you take me as I am
Will you
Will you take me as I am
Mmh
Mmh
Take me as I am
Will you take me as I am
