Going to California

[Verse 1]
Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and I drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going to California with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

[Verse 2]
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let 'em tell you that they're all the same
And the sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and thе canyons start to tremble and shake
Thе children of the sun began to awake

[Bridge]
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose, and it started to flow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
See you up there where the path runs straight and high, woah

[Verse 3]
To find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and she cries and she sings
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who has never, never been born
Standing on a hill in a mountain of dreams
Telling myself it ain't as hard, hard as it seems

[Outro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
