Joey Ryan - California lyrics

rate me

California, California

Know I love you, California

When I leave, I know you wait for me

Cause in the sun and in the weather

No one else has loved me better

California you’re the place for me

Los Angeles, Los Angeles

My heart goes out to you and if

I make it back I’d love to drive around

Cause your streets are wide and dirty

You’d have raised me in a hurry

You’re the city with the angels, yes indeed

San Francisco, San Francisco

Always busy, you’re always pretty

I can see you just across the bay

Your red bridge over the sea

Keeps me safe and warm and free

On a clear day, there’s no place I’d rather be

In the mountains, in the mountains

No one knows you like I do

And summer streams are knee deep in the snow

Just like the giving tree you have made a man of me

Cause everyone needs someplace beautiful

I think everyone needs someplace beautiful

California, California

Know I love you, California

When I leave I know you wait for me

Cause in the sun and in the weather

No one else has loved me better

California you’re the place for me

In the valley, in the valley

Give me life and cradle me

The sun is setting as I drive ahead

So keep us and sustain us

Give us food and love and I trust

That without you we’d all soon be dead

In the forest, all the trees

You make a little child of me

How I long to know what you have seen

All the people who are gone

And all the ones who once were strong

Oh won’t you keep their fate from claiming me

In the oceans, in the sea

We have seen eternity

How can I tell when you really end

I imagine that you lead to other worlds entirely

Where we can save ourselves and start again

Yes we need to save ourselves and start again

California, California

Know I love you, California

When I leave I know you wait for me

Cause in the sun and in the weather

No one else has loved me better

California you’re the place for me

So nurse me like a mother

Raise me strong just like my father

Let me wander off, discover who I am

I’ll have learned your deepest lessons

Gathered up your finest blessings

Return to California once again

Yes, I’ll come home to California once again

California, California

Know I love you, California

When I leave I know you wait for me

Cause in the sun and in the weather

No one else has loved me better

California you’re the place for me

Yes California you’re the place for me

California won’t you save a place for me?
