<br>Thought I'd never reach the water <br>Had to cross the desert and the great divide <br>Drinking only golden promises <br>With white lines in my eyes <br> <br>Oh, sons and daughters <br>Followed all the signs to paradise <br>Believing only dreams and promises <br>With starlight in their eyes <br> <br>CHORUS: <br>Oh, California <br>It's the one big love that you cannot end <br>Oh, California <br>It's not like before but we can still pretend <br> <br>I was swimming in freezing water <br>I could hear the music from the other side <br>Looked up and I saw my father <br>And tears were in his eyes <br> <br>CHORUS <br> <br>We all still live for Friday night <br>Old habits die hard when you get them right <br>There's a broken dream in every grain of sand <br>But it's as close as I can get to the promised land <br> <br>Oh, California <br>I can see you now from the top of that hill <br>Oh, California <br>Though many have gone I have the memories still <br>Oh, California <br>I can hear the sound of the mission bell <br>Oh, California <br>We're one stone's throw from heaven <br> <br>Thought I'd never reach the water <br>Had to cross the desert and the great divide <br>Drinking only golden promises <br>With white lines in my eyes <br> <br>Oh, California <br>It's the one big love that you cannot end <br>Oh, California <br>Yeah I can't leave you now <br>Oh, California <br> <br> <br>Thought I'd never reach the water <br>Had to cross the desert and the great divide <br>Drinking only golden promises<br><!-- stopprint -->
