D-DU-UDU
She lived at the end of a little dirt road,
In a house where secrets go untold.
Barefoot in a cotton dress,
Dark hair in a tangled mess,
And a head full of crazy dreams.
She'd say,
I'm going to California,
A place where the sun always shines.
Well I'm going to California,
And I'm leaving everything behind.
You can't help but feel just a little bit touched,
When your Daddy loves you a little too much.
You can wish on four-leaf clovers,
But all the fields have been plowed over,
And there's nothing left to do but fly away.
She'd say,
I'm going to California,
A place where the sun always shines.
Well I'm going to California,
And I'm leaving everything behind.
The stars burn like candles,
On that two lane highway.
She made a wish and disappeared,
On her 18th birthday.
She'd say,
I'm going to California,
A place where the sun always shines.
Well I'm going to California,
And I'm leaving everything behind.
I'm going to California,
And I'm leaving everything behind.
Oh, California.....
I'm..............going to California.
Oh, California......
Leave it all behind.
California......
