I packed

my things when I got the news

California was beckoning,

just 1 ,500 miles of reckoning

Funny how the twists and turns
D

of a long road will make you learn

I flipped a coin on the Great Divide,
D
then I headed down the western side
A
Em
It'll be my California

A
It'll be just like the pictures

I hit the border on a Friday night

Settled into my bungalow

With a hot ply and the dominoes,

G
oh
D

Phones are ringing all across this town

I send the letters and
D
I shake those hands
And do the dance
A
This is my California
Em

I pass palm trees and redwoods

In a strange way it feels good

It takes me home where I long to be
D
It remembers me
A
And this is my California
Em

No beaches, I don't like the sand,

no convertible, no dark tan

No stars living next to me,

just a few good people who want to be
A
In my California
Em

Living in my California
Em

Welcome to my recollection

of what I came to find
