Lyrics
California Sunshine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Go West Young Man the signs all seem to say now there's San Diego Frisco or LA
Leave that cold cold woman far behind warm yourself in that California sunshine
Go West young man become a movie star or just anything except the fool you are
Expose the lonely corners of your mind to a little dad of that California sunshine
I need a change I've headed up to here she's been playin' game that's very clear
But her play mate will soon be hard to find I'll be in that California sunshine
[ guitar ]
They say those California girls are fine and they know how to really walk your mind
The one of you get ready cause you're mine I'm a headin' for that California sunshine
Well I need a change I've headed...
Yes her play mate will soon be hard to find I'll be in that California sunshine
Baby I'll be in that California sun
