California Lyrics

California

It started off by watching the films, all set in the West.

The cowboys and the Indians allways fighting to be the best

I always thought what a lovely land, a great place to be

There’s so much beauty to look at, so many sights to see.

Feel the sun burning down on me, almost everyday

Maybe sometimes gallop over the sand,

It’s a beautiful dream, in a beautiful land

In California, in California

I used to think about a big saloon, walking straight in

Shout across to a beautiful barmaid, for my whisky and gin

I’d look at a gunslinger, and I’d give him such a stare

He’s looking at me all dressed in black, with his long dark hair

Feel the sun burning down on me, almost everyday

Maybe sometimes gallop over the sand,

It’s a beautiful dream, in a beautiful land

In California, in California, in California

Instrumental

I’d ride high ion a mountain, just under the sky, I’d watch all the buffalo as they walk by

I’d scream to the eagle ‘Hey you’re looking at me’

This is what life’s about, this is what life should be

Feel the sun burning down on me, almost everyday

Maybe sometimes gallop over the sand,

It’s a beautiful dream, in a beautiful land

In California, in California,

In California
