Back in California with it's clear blue skies Makes it much easier for me to get by Yea I've fallen in love for the first time Back to the drawing board Looking for the right chord To heal my aching soul, don't know why Hell it's all I can do to get by Met a girl with pale blue eyes The less the less I care for her, the more the more she wants to be mine Soon enough she'll be another one I left behind Back in the van with a band full of traveling salesmen You know we're gonna get high, we're gonna get high Every time I close my eyes I still can see the lines on the highway You know it's hard to get by But it's all good, you know that it's good to be Back in California no I can't complain Nothing to lose, and no one left to blame Nothing more than the cure for what ails me You can chase your money, you can chase your dream You can go for broke and hope you end up on the silver screen Flip a coin, heads or tails never fails me Try to see a friend or two while I'm in town Think my friends are used to me, used to me not being around And it's 1 more day and I'm highway bound Back on the road, the weather gets cold The band we try our best to shake off the rust Time slips away, I've lost track of days And everything I own back home is collecting dust But's it's all right, a couple more nights and we'll be Back in California with it's clear blue skies Makes it much easier for me to get by Yea I've fallen in love for the first time Easier for me to get by Yea I've fallen in love for the first time Easier for me to get by Yea I've fallen in love for the first time
