Josh Ritter - California Lyrics

Going out to California
Gonna let the water warm my clothes
I'm alone but I'm not lonely
Gonna trade the weather for the Western coast

No, don't cry, I'll be back
And I'll bring the sun to shine in your eyes
On your shoulders

Sunset Boulevard will strip for money
Mulholland is a long drag for the lonely hearts
Down along the Imperial Valley
Runs a river of homelessness and cinema stars

Don't say the trip's been done
A hundred thousand times
'Cause this one is mine

So I will work at what work finds me
And I will take what comfort I can get
I'll be back when I'm good and ready
California doesn't seem to think I'm ready yet

No, don't cry, I'll be back
And I'll bring the sun to shine in your eyes
On your shoulders
