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



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



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



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
