Way out west where I come from Every single trunks got a sound system On the 15 singin' my anthem, California here I come I remember sittin' on the beach beneath the stars Singing to the Lord a hymn of praise on my guitar Shout three cheers for the golden state I'm going back to Cali and I can't wait I'm going back to Cali and I can't wait There's where I got my first tattoo That's the church where I heard the good news There's the school where I used to go That's where the tones played our first show There's the beach where we would go for dawn patrol We'd paddle out through the freezing waves as they would roll And I'd float out on the ocean It's like God pulled back the curtain Shout three cheers for the golden state I'm going back to Cali and I can't wait I'm going back to Cali and I can't wait Way out west where I come from Every single trunks got a sound system On the 15 singin' my anthem, California here I come I remember sittin' on the beach beneath the stars Singing to the Lord a hymn of praise on my guitar I wanna go back, by the train tracks, In the soft sand and just sit back Shout three cheers for the golden state I'm going back to Cali and I can't wait Shout three cheers for the golden state I'm going back to Cali and I can't wait I'm going back to Cali and I can't wait
