Hotels and cigarettes And empty bars where I just sit And contemplate the things that I can't know
And all I ask of you are honest words Simple truths A place to lay my head when I get lost
Nothing here is right Guess I'll shut my eyes
Come to California 'cause I've been lonely for you We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise Come to California Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight Well I can't see the sky
I watch the waves disappear beneath the boardwalk Then I blink my eyes Stare farther down the beach
I'll get drunk this time on Boone's Farm wine In my defense I'd like to say at least it's always sweet
Nothing here is tight Guess I'll shut my eyes
Come to California 'cause I've been lonely for you We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise Come to California Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight Well I can't see the sky
And I don't know if I believe I'm everything I should be If I'd never been for you
Love I am drowning in this change It's washing everything I know and am confident with Ah
Come to California 'cause I've been lonely for you We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise Come to California Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight Well I can't see the sky I can't see the sky
Come to California 'cause I've been lonely for you (I can't see the sky) We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise (Lord I can't see the sky) Come to California Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight (I can't see it) (I can't see it) Well I can't see the sky (I can't see it)
