California Kid

Lord, put me in a Mustang
Send me down a desert highway
Where the rain never falls
And the sun always shines

I'll find a cheap motel with a neon sign
Buzzing for the world to see
'Cause you can take the kid of California
But you can't take the California kid out of me

Home sweet Golden Coast
Got my heart no matter where I go
'Til they lay me down, there's no telling where I'll be
But you can't take the California kid out of me

Lord, put me in a polaroid
With a high school quarterback
The Bеach Boys singin'
"God only knows" whatever happens to him

It's a teenagе dream, it's a damn good thing
This '66 Ford runs on, on leaded, and memories
Yeah, you can take the kid of California
But you can't take the California kid out of

Home sweet Golden Coast
Got my heart no matter where I go
'Til they lay me down, there's no telling where I'll be
But you can't take the California kid out of me

If I ever get lost
I know just what I need
Take me down to the valley
Take me down to the sea

It's calling me homeward
It's calling me homeward
Calling me home

Home sweet Golden Coast
Got my heart no matter where I go
'Til they lay me down, there's no telling where I'll be
But you can't take the California kid
No, you can't take the California kid
No, you can't take the California kid out of me
The California kid out of me
