Blackboard Jungle - California lyrics

rate me

I was just a fresh young thing

Fresh from underneath my mother's wing

Heard you were where the angels roam

Caught a tear in my dad's eye when I left home

Put my faith in a girl from a topless bar

On a clear night we lay and stare at the stars

There's so much about you that I hate

Got your hands around my throat so I gotta stay

I was just a fresh young thing

When I waved goodbye to everything

Sure was great so glad to know ya

Lost myself in California

My sails filled with the hot air you breathe

Just another number in your black seas

Collect call home I'm comin' up for air

Will I ever find my way back home from here

One day I'll wrestle you to the ground

Laugh in your face try and touch me now

Tell them I'm just blowin' in your wind

That's where all the answers were to have been

I was just a fresh young thing

When I waved goodbye to everything

Sure was great so glad to know ya

Lost myself in California

California

California, Claifornia, California

California

I was just a fresh young thing

When I waved goodbye to everything

Sure was great so glad to know ya

Lost myself in California
