Going to California

Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going To California with an
Aching in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl
Out there with love
In her eyes and flowers in her hair
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let them tell you that
They're all the same
The sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons started
To tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake
Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose
And it started to flow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high
To find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries
And sings la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never
Never been born
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard
Hard as it seems
