California if I could own ya
There'd be some changes made
Can't help but worry
When I see the state you're in
You got TVs and you got movies
Yeah but I am watching you
There's too many people
Living life like the movies do
In California
Well, I can't help but worry
What else can I do?
Well, I can't help but worry
When I see it's down to me and you
You got earthquake, make your house shake
But I've been shook, I've been shook before
I don't think it matters
So I'll just try to shake some more
You got redwoods and you got rivers
But you've got this automobile
You just can't help but worry
You can see how bad you feel
In California
And I can't help but worry
When I see the state you're in
I know one thing…
There's too many people
Living life like the movies do
