California Song

(アルバム： It's About Time - 2018)

Well, I always thought that I might live out in California
Where the weather's great and the sun shines all the time
Probably'd live somewhere north of San Francisco
In the Redwoods where they make the wine

I was headed that way once, when I stopped off in Austin
To see an old friend from long ago
One night at a party I met her and I knew that
She's the one who's going to lead me home

And I fell in love with a girl born and raised in Texas
She stole my heart, I lost my rambling ways
And the years flew by so quickly, raising up a family
Where you fall in love is where you stay

And I always thought that I might live up in Colorado
Where the snow stays on the peaks all summer long
And I'd river-raft the canyons, I'd fly-fish Roaring Fork
By a campfire, sing some cowboy songs

But I fell in love with a girl born and raised in Texas
She stole my heart, I lost my rambling ways
And the years flew by so quickly, raising up a family
Where you fall in love that's where you stay

And you know I'm not complaining, our life has been so special
And Texas has been everything, I know
But every now and then I think what might have been
If life had pulled me down a different road

Well, I'm still dreaming 'bout the mountains, 'bout the rivers and the ocean
The way the waves pound down around Big Sur
Makes me wonder why I don't already live there
Huh, I ain't going nowhere without her

'Cause I fell in love with a girl born and raised in Texas
She stole my heart, I lost my rambling ways
And the years flew by so quickly, raising up a family
Where you fall in love that's where you stay

And I always thought that I might live out in California...
