I was born by the river in a little metropolis
Why it happened here is anybody's guess
I followed the rules, I even went to high school
But when next year rolls around
You know I won't be found
'Cause CALIFORNIA HERE I COME
California shining sun
I've seen it in the movies and even on TV
Girls in bikinis and guys who dress like me
A virtual paradise with all night television
You might even see a star Drive by in his car
California shining sun CALIFORNIA HERE
I COME
I'm sick of the snow
I'm tired of the rain
I'm sick of my mom and dad
I'm tired of the pain
I'm running out west where everything is all right
Land o' plenty, success is
overnight
I'm packing my blue jeans as soon as they end school
Throw my axe in a pillowcase, guarachi sandals too
I'm gonna hit up sunset strip, I gotta make some friends I'll join up with a band, and sign up with
'the man'
So CALIFORNIA HERE I COME California
shining sun
