CALIFORNIA
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1997

On a cargo plane,
Over Mexico,
Gotta do a hit,
'cause we gotta lotta miles to go,
We're L.A. bound,
We won't let you down,
We got the shit,
To spin your world around and round,
California,
You're just like me,
A junkie looking for some ecstacy,
When they cure you,
And they set you free,
You'll go right back,
Where you started from,
So, you're up all night,
And you sleep all day,
For another bump,
You'd give your mortal soul away,
They say the monkey bites,
If you hold too tight,
You gotta loaded gun,
And you're sleeping,
With the light on,
California,
You're just like me...
A junkie looking for some ecstacy,
When they cure you,
And they set you free,
You'll go right back,
Where you started from,
You'll go back,
You'll go back,
You'll go back...to where you were before,
California,
You're just like me...
