I remember I was in the tanning salon,
When I heard that River Phoenix was gone.
They say that only the good die young,
But that ain't true where I come from:
California, California.
It took a lot for me to say,
I wanna walk away L.A.,
From the sharks and the chardonnay,
In California, in California.
Four in the morning, we were in our beds,
The swaying palm trees above our heads
Woke up to the primal rumbling sound,
When the Northridge quake ripped open the ground,
California, California.
It took a lot for me to say,
I wanna walk away L.A.,
From the sharks and the chardonnay,
In California, in California.
Golden State, I'm back in the Golden State,
Golden State of mind.
Golden State, I'm back in the Golden State,
Golden State of mind.

It took a lot for me to say,
I wanna walk away L.A.,
From the sharks and the chardonnay,
In California, in California.
Walk, walk, walk away.
Walk, walk, walk away.
I remember I was in the tanning salon,
When I heard that River Phoenix was gone.
