lyrics

CALIFORNIA

She’s going through her father’s things
Trying to find some clues
Vinyl records, old magazines
No sign of the dead man’s blues
Outside her window the world’s a mess
Kind of like that guitar in the corner
There with its broken neck

There’s handwritten posters of the five dollar shows
Long-haired boys in the city and they’re striking a pose
High top sneakers stuffed with tapered jeans
They’re somewhere on Broadway tonight and they’re making the scene

Did I ever tell you
Did I ever tell you
About California
There’s nothing special
Ain’t nothing special
About California

She don’t want to wind up
A wild time in a cardboard box
Left underneath the bed
With pages full of writer’s block
No, she’s going straight to the top
