Now it s getting so I m mad when someone says your name
Cause I ve had to say good-bye to friends who couldn t stay away
And sometimes it felt so wrong to never want to lean on you
You may stand tall, but I ve got two feet too
Now they talk of you in bars around a quiet beer
Tell their tales of mind-gone stones where no one else can hear
And later on outside, they say they re getting on a plane
To fly away, leaving you again
California, my friends all call you home
And if you take away another, I ll be that much more alone
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
Now in a few more years, I won t remember what it was to play
The music of old friends who need to live so far away
But can I once taste Northern waters, then forsake them for the South
To feel California s ashes in my mouth
California, my friends all call you home
And if you take away another, I ll be that much more alone
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
California, my friends all call you home
And if you take away another, I ll be that much more alone
Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
Like a child to home whenever darkness comes
