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 too
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
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
Never stay
