California

When I came back home
From the USA
I had nothin' in my pockets
And not a lot to say

Though I knew somehow
We would meet real soon

But the way, you've been avoidin' me
It's like I'm livin' on the moon
Here I am on this side of the stars
Livin' in California

And sometimes
I get out of reach in the bars
Dreamin' about my life
And maybe one day, I'll take a wife

Though I spent some time
On the evil road
I've done things that I'm ashamed of
Oh man, it's such a heavy load

Though I knew somehow
We would meet real soon

But the way, you've been avoidin' me
It's like I'm livin' on the moon
Here I am on this side of the stars
Livin' in California

And sometimes, I get out of reach in the bars
Dreamin' about my life
And maybe one day, I'll take a wife
Oh, I miss you girl

Your dreams are more than I can take
You are the love of my life
But I could be my biggest mistake
Ah babe, my heart's turnin' like a wheel

I feel emotion for you
But I just can't tell if it's real
When I came back home from the USA
I had nothin' in my pockets and not a lot to say

Though I knew somehow
We would meet real soon

But the way you've been avoidin' me
It's like I'm livin' on the moon
Here I am on this side of the stars
Livin' in California

And sometimes I get out of reach in the bars
Dreamin' about my life
And maybe one day, I'll take a wife
Oh, ooh baby, oh, I miss you girl
