California

Drove up to San Francisco
Always a tear in her eye
Where the wind blows somehow, colder in June
She's a beauty both day and night

It's a unique set of circumstances
Once a stranger and now a friend
I only know the miles and the chances
I always wondered where the sunset ends

California, California
You're so far from Memphis
But I still love your kiss
I never will tell you goodbye

Down south in Los Angeles
The shadows, the lights, and the beautiful wreckage
The worst first impression, but then you're like heaven
Like the one that I almost missed

California, California
You're so far from Memphis
But I still love your kiss
I never will tell you goodbye

Playing The Troubadour on a Wednesday night
It darkens the door and it burns like a light
I can feel it the air, there's a song in my heart
South to the North, can you feel it tonight

California, California
You're so far from Memphis
But I still love your kiss
I never will tell you goodbye

California, California
You're so far from Memphis
But I still love your kiss
I never will tell you goodbye
