Born on the outskirts of town Dirty as the ground Poor as anyone around I joined a band after school Played cover songs acted cool But it’s time I find something new California Calls I will miss you all Here I come L.A. But I’ll be back someday Saved what I could hitched a ride With my guitar by my side On that day my mother cried California Calls I will miss you all Here I come L.A. But I’ll be back someday Call me if you come down my way 'cause I’ll be singing my soul away Come on now Safe in the arms of the sun Land of the stars and the guns Now my new life has begun Call me if you come down my way 'cause I’ll be singing my soul away Oh in California 4x California Calls 4x
