California
California
Performed by Belinda Carlisle
(Steinberg/Nowels/Vidal)
I remember I was in the tanning salon
When I heard that River Phoenix was gone
They say that only the good die young
But that ain’t true where I come from
California...California
CHORUS:
It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away, L.A.
From the sharks and the chardonnay
In California...In California
4 in the morning, we were in our beds
The swaying palm trees above our heads
Woke up to a primal, rumbling sound
When the Northridge quake ripped open the ground
California...California
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Golden State
I’m back in the Golden State
The golden state of mind
Golden State
I’m back in the Golden State
The golden state of mind
