Back in California with it’s clear blue skies
Makes it much easier for me to get by
Yea I’ve fallen in love for the first time
Back to the drawing board
Looking for the right chord
To heal my aching soul, don’t know why
Hell it’s all I can do to get by
Met a girl with pale blue eyes
The less the less I care for her, the more the more she wants to be mine
Soon enough she’ll be another one I left behind
Back in the van with a band full of traveling salesmen
You know we’re gonna get high, we’re gonna get high
Every time I close my eyes I still can see the lines on the highway
You know it’s hard to get by
But it’s all good, you know that it’s good to be
Back in California no I can’t complain
Nothing to lose, and no one left to blame
Nothing more than the cure for what ails me
You can chase your money, you can chase your dream
You can go for broke and hope you end up on the silver screen
Flip a coin, heads or tails never fails me
Try to see a friend or two while I’m in town
Think my friends are used to me, used to me not being around
And it’s 1 more day and I’m highway bound
Back on the road, the weather gets cold
The band we try our best to shake off the rust
Time slips away, I’ve lost track of days
And everything I own back home is collecting dust
But’s it’s all right, a couple more nights and we’ll be
Back in California with it’s clear blue skies
Makes it much easier for me to get by
Yea I’ve fallen in love for the first time
Easier for me to get by
Yea I’ve fallen in love for the first time
Easier for me to get by
Yea I’ve fallen in love for the first time
