You
Poor you
Playing so long but you're still not grooving
I see you running but I
see you ain't moving
And me
Pitiful me
I sleep with both eyes open but I'm just
not seeing
The forest let alone the trees
Chorus:
California here I
come
Open up your golden arms
I had enough of the New York City slums
My brother
he went before me
My God watch over me
California here I come
Can we
stop
Obsessing
There's food on the table let's count our blessings
How come we wanna
be messing
Messing around
With the wild wild west
Must be a better life than
this
How come
Some people got it all
Some people got none
I been banging
my head against
The writing on the wall
But now
I just wanna have
fun
Chorus
California I'll be there
Let me fall into your hair
I
won't be guilty for my New York City care
My sister come along with me
Our God is offering
our share
California I'll be there
