Californian Soil
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.
I left my soul
On Californian soil
And I left my pride
With that woman by my side
I never had a willing hand
And I never had a plan
But I'm glad I found you here
But I'm glad I've got you here
But I never had a name
And I never felt the same
They keep on trying, oh
And they will keep on trying it, oh
And they will keep on trying it, oh
And I never felt the same
I am young, I am old
And so you do what you're told
I never had a willing hand
And so you pack up all your bags
But I'm glad I've got you here
Well I'm glad I've got you here
But I never felt the same
And this life is just a game
They keep on trying it, oh
They keep on trying it, oh
And they will keep on trying it, oh
Until you never feel the same
