House In California

We were sick and tired of Buffalo

Tired of freezin' and shovelin' snow

So we packed it up

and moved out to the coast

To find us a house in California

Something at the beach or Hollywood

3 or 4 bedrooms sound real good

Don't have to have a pool or a veranda

Just a simple little house in California

Banker said son "what do you do"

I play guitar down at the rendezvous

He said "boy you need to be a big time actor

or a corporate lawyer"

If you want to buy a house in California

It don't snow and it don't rain

And everyday looks the same

But before you pack your things let me warn ya'

It's the land of milk and honey

But you better have good money

If you're looking for a house in California

I got three jobs, my wife's got two

The kid is flippin' burgers at the local drive thru

We're all doin' everything we can

We're saving for a house in California

Then one day things started shakin'

Sky went dark and the earth was quaking

Then over night it became alarmin'

How the prices dropped on a house in California

Well it needs a roof and it needs a plumber

Yeah, yeah it's a real fixer upper

Friends back east said somebody shoulda warned ya'

But I finally got my house in California

It don't snow and it don't rain

And everyday looks the same

But before you pack your things let me warn ya'

It's the land of milk and honey

But you better have good money

If you're looking for a house in California
