(Verse) Why's everyone still singing about California? Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State? I guess if you like sandy beaches and blue ocean water There's something about it, to which I cannot relate I need to see the leaves change and the snowflakes falling I need to hear the call, the wind whistling through the winter pines Why's everyone still singing about California? Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State? And people still follow them dreams to sweet California And from time to time I pass on by, but I will never stay (Verse) Sure there are beautiful people, in the city of lost angels They're living like they're kings and queens, from some royal age But fortune and fame won't save you, when California Is wiped out by the ring of fire or a great earthquake Why's everyone still singing about California? Haven't we heard enough about the Golden State? And people still follow them dreams to sweet California And from time to time I pass on by, but I will never stay No, I will never stay Never stay x2
