You try to drown your sorrows, you shouldn’t taught them how to swim
Now you are right back where you began
Winter skies approaching, all alone in the wasteland
Alone is the only way that they let you in

[Chorus] So drink all my wine, cut all my trees
Make love on my beaches, smoke all my weed
I am California, can’t you see
Wherever you roam, you’ll always want me

We struggle with our lovers, we don’t know what to let in
Cause the new ones pay for the old ones sins
Blinded by your shadows, faded on your love
You don’t know how deep you are, till you get pulled back up

[Chorus] Dig all my gold, soak in my springs
Conquer my mountains if that’s what you need
I am California, can’t you see
Wherever you roam, you’ll always want me
You’ll always want me, you’ll always want me, you’ll always want me
