One week ago today I hit the highway
Headin' for L.A. yeah, hey
I swore I'd never go for just a month or so
Turns out this time it had to change
All my west coast friends told me
That I was crazy that I didn't do this all along
They said
Come to California
Come to Californ-I-Yay
Come to California
Come to Californ-I-Yay
It's not like I wasn't sure
The choice was so pure
As a mixture of love and hate
Emotion verses steel
Trash my heart and seal the deal
It's either so and so or great
All my west coast friends told me
That I was crazy that I didn't do this all along
They said
Come to California
Come to Californ-I-Yay
Come to California, ah!
Come to Californ-I-Yay
From Thousand Oaks to the Larchmont Quarter
We're making music underneath the sun
And everything is new
Everything's brand new
Ten years ago today
I hit the highway headin' for L.A. yeah, hey
Come to Californ-I-Yay
Come to California
Come to California
Come to California (Come to California)
Yeah, come to Californ-I-Yay (Come to Californ-I-Yay)
Yee haw
(Come to California)
Come to Californ-I-Yay (Come to Californ-I-Yay)
Come to California (Come to California)
Come to Californ-I-Yay (Come to Californ-I-Yay)
Come to California (Come to California)
Come to Californ-I-Yay (Come to Californ-I-Yay)
Come to California (Come to California)
Come to Californ-I-Yay (Come to Californ-I-Yay)
