It was a beer and a bourbon,
a conversation and a kiss
It started a fire
Led to a night of holding each other close
Through teardrops and desire
Two half -broken people heading west
Shared a motel room
Killed a little emptiness
The morning came too soon
On the way to
California
Can't you hear
California
Calling your name
A siren song
Once you hear it
Nothing is the same
Made ancient
Spaniards sail
Made
Guthrie ride the rail
That highway to freedom became a
sweet lost weekend for me and you
I detoured through the mountains up to
Santa
Fe with nothing much to do
You said you're starting over in
L .A.
Now that he's cut you loose
I'm headed north of there
Don't know why she left that way
I might land in
Santa
Cruz
California
Can you hear
California
California, callin' your name
A siren's song, once you hear it
Nothin' is the same
Called
Marilyn
Monroe
Made miners rush for gold
Oh,
California
I know a year, it's come and gone
That you probably moved on
But girl, your memory won't go away
I know that this sounds crazy wrong
But if you hear this song
October 1st means me and
Moby
Can't you hear
California
A siren song, once you hear it,
nothing is the same
She's whispering soft and low,
come and hold me close
Ah,
California
In
California
California
California
California
Thank so
