'm goin back to California
home of the California Sun
I hope to see ya in California
so I can know that I'm not the only one
Been away for almost a year
left my love and I swallowed my fear
made it all the way to Germany
buckled down for the winter and started to freeze
Take me back to California
land of the endless fire and waterless lakes
I'm comin home to California
so I can know that I've gotten what it takes
Flew back to Atlanta it was freezin cold
up in the Big House on Ponce I was all alone
out in Colorado where the gravel is thick
and the nights are long and the ice is slick
All aboard for California!
Wake up in the mornin feel the sun shinin on your face
Next stop on this train's a-California!
Everyone must exit, we've arrived, get off the train
It's good to be back in California
home of the California Sun
It's always good to see ya here in California
so I can know that I'm not the only one
