Last night I slept in the canyon
Thought I’d raise my eyes to the sky to see
Hoping to ask the right questions
Lord let the answers rain down on me
‘Cause I wanna feel
Your warm hands on me, my California
And I wanna buy
A one-way ticket away from home
And I’m gonna find
My way back to you, my California
And see the waves upon your shores
And see the waves upon your shores
Life can be hard in the city
Sometimes some solitude can bring some clarity
All of this locked up emotion
You know I gotta let it all out of me
‘Cause I wanna feel
Your warm hands on me, my California
And I wanna buy
A one-way ticket away from home
And I’m gonna find
My way back to you, my California
And see the waves upon your shores
And see the waves upon your shores
