California Livin’

[Verse 1]
Fourty seven dollars plus an empty pack of gum
Maxed out credit cards, in my back pocket
Isn't she lucky?
Fire red, thunder bird you somehow convinced Papa to let you borrow
And the condition is, bring it back before tomorrow, oh
While we rollin' down the riverside
I like that you like what we going to do now, baby, oh yeah
‘Cause we know there ain't no turning back
And we're gonna be broke for a while
You still managed to give me that million dollar smile
I knew that you, wasn't sure, ‘cause you make that face when you're afraid
But it's cool, ‘cause I too
Don't have a plan but we're just two-thousand miles away

[Chorus]
From California livin'
Place of burning dreams
Where everybody's privileged
Everyone but you and me
We'll be, California livin'
Majored in Philosophy
So I'll go get these millions
While you finish your degree
California
Oh, oh, California livin'
Sweet home California
Oh love that's where we're headed

[Verse 2]
Thirty-two hours later damn we barely made it, guess who's sleeping in the car
Till we see morning, if we're still lucky, yeah, aye
I can sell these Jordans and this [?] for a little bit of paper
To a flight club or something, oh
Oh no, I know it ain't much
But we can surely use the money badly
Get a room for a couple nights
There’s a suitparade downtown, baby
And I’ll hold you tight, ‘till [?]
And tell you it’s alright
And how someday I think you’ll make the perfect wife

[Bridge]
And when you say I do
Best be sure, ‘cause it’s you and I against the world
And soon we’ll leave this motel room
For the white picket fence and a dog you’ve always wanted plus a gorgeous baby girl, oh

[Chorus]
California livin'
Place of burning dreams
Where everybody's privileged
Everyone but you and me
We'll be California livin'
Majored in Philosophy
So I'll go get these billions
While you finish your degree
California
Oh, oh, California livin'
Sweet home California
Oh love that's where we're headed

[Outro]
California
Oh, oh, California livin'
Sweet home California
Oh love that's where we're headed
