California is the place to be When you're alone in the world and you wanna be free Up in the hills or down by the sea Deep in the canyons where the vampires run free California, dry as the moon We wanna watch the end and we'll be there soon Sun is the color of blood in my mouth We were dying in the north so we all ran south for the good life ♪ California, I love that name Free from the past and free from the pain California, wish you were here Where the blood runs cold and the skies are clear It's the good life ♪ It's the good life ♪ California burns to the sky We're here to take the picture and to call out why California, I love you at night When all the lonely killers have turned out the light And it's still And we got hours to kill California, I love that name Free from the past and free from the pain California, wish you were here Where the blood runs cold and the skies are clear California, I love that name Free from the past and free from the pain California, forget what I mean But the blood runs cold and the skies are clear It's the good life Yeah, it's the good life It's the good life Oh, it's the good life Drive west on sunset to the sea ♪ Drive west on sunset to the sea ♪ Drive west on sunset to the sea You'll never find me
