Lyrics
Sitting in a park in Paris, France Reading the news and it's all bad They won't give peace a chance That was just a dream some of us had Still a lot of lands to see But I wouldn't wanna stay here It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here Oh, but California California, I'm comin' home I'm going to see the folks I dig I'll even kiss a Sunset pig California, I'm comin' home I met a redneck on a Grecian isle Who spent my money very well He gave me back my smile But he kept my camera to sell Oh, the rogue, the red, red rogue He cooked good omelets and stews And I might have stayed on with him there But my heart cried out for you, oh, California California, I'm comin', comin', comin', home Oh, make me feel good rock 'n roll band I'm your biggest fan California, I'm comin' home Oh, it gets so lonely When you're walking in a street of strangers All the news of home you read Just give you the blues So I bought a ticket I caught a plane to Spain Went to a party down a red dirt road There were lots of pretty people there Reading Rolling Stone, reading Vogue They said, "How long can you hang around?" I said a week, maybe two Just until my skin turns brown And then I'm going home to California California, I'm comin' home Oh, will you take me as I am? Strung out on another man California, I'm comin' home Oh, it gets so lonely When you're walking And the streets are full of strangers All the news of home you read More about the war And the bloody changes Ohh, will you take me as I am? Will you take me as I am? Ohh, will you take me as I am? Will you? Will you? Will you take me as I am? Hmmm mmmmm Will you take me as I am?
