LEAVING CALIFORNIA
This man from California
Said son, I've got to warn ya
This man from California
Said son, I've got to warn ya
I've ridden fast cars and even faster girls
I mined for diamonds but only got fake pearls
I tried to make it on my own
But this is a crazy world
And there's an X on the map
Marking this as the place
To find either fame and fortune
Or else pain and disgrace
Sometimes even both
When everything's laid on the line
I could rent it or lease it
But it could never be mine
It'll never be all mine
He said he's leaving California
Leaving in the morning
He told me I should follow
He said son, "This is my only warning"
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
And there's an X on the map
Marking this as the place
To find either fame and fortune
Or else pain and disgrace
Sometimes even both
When everything's laid on the line
I could rent it or lease it
But it could never be mine
It'll never be all mine...
He said he's leaving California
Leaving in the morning
He told me I should follow
He said son, "This is my only warning"
And I'm leaving California
And I'm leaving California
And I'm leaving California
Yes, I'm leaving California
