I Am California
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.
You try to drown your sorrows
You shouldn't have taught them how to swim
And now you are right back where you began
Winter skies approaching
All alone in the wasteland
Alone is the only way
That they let you in
So drink all my wine
Cut all my trees
Make love on my beaches
Smoke all my weed
I am California
Can't you see
Wherever you roam
You'll always want me
We struggle with our lovers
We don't know what to let in
'Cause the new ones pay for the old ones sins
Blinded by your shadows
Faded on your love
You don't know how deep you are
Till' you get pulled back up
So drink all my wine
Cut all my trees
Make love on my beaches
Smoke all my weed
I am California
Can't you see
Wherever you roam
You'll always want me
So drink all my wine
Cut all my trees
Make love on my beaches
Smoke all my weed
I am California
Can't you see
Wherever you roam
You'll always want me
Yeah dig all my gold
Soak in my springs
Conquer my mountains
If that's what you need
I am California can't you see
Wherever you roam
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
