(Talking)
Where my folks at

(and we go back a little bit)
wayy back
(back a little bit yeah)
yea
that's right
(Hook)
Wake up Wake up holla at ya boy
I Gotta Lil Story to tell ya
I know I been gone for a minute
But I'm back on the block
Comin right back where I left ya
I represent the world wide west side
Ya heard many times
I'm California Sun
Go get a case of ice cold Coronas and
Meet me at the corner and
I'll tell you how the west was won
(Verse 1)
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
(Chorus)
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (background)
Such a lovely face yeah
Plenty of room at the Hotel California (yeah yeah yeah)
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
(Verse 2)
Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We ain't had that spirit here since 1989
And still those voices are calling from far away yea
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
(Chorus)
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place (background)
Such a lovely face yea
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California (California Yess)
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies
(Verse 3)
Mirrors on the ceiling
Cold Crystal on Ice
She said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
Stabbin' it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast, no
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave
(Talking)
Where my folks at
it's ya boy and we about to take it back
(and we go back a little bit)
