Spent my days
with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff
and drank all my wine
Made up my mind
to make a new start
Going To California
with an aching in my heart
Someone told me
there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes
and flowers in her hair
<Interlude>
Took my chances
on a big jet plane
Never let them tell you
that they're all the same
The sea was red
and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow
could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons
started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun
began to awake
Watch out
Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose
and it started to flow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line
if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there
where the path
Runs straight and high
<Interlude>
To find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar
and cries and sings
La la la la
Ride a white mare
in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman
who's never never been born
Standing on a hill
in my mountain of dreams
Telling myself it's not as hard
hard, hard as it seems
