Spent my days with a woman unkind,

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.

Made up my mind to make a new

start, Going To California

with an aching in my heart.

Someone told me there's a girl

out there with love in her

eyes and flowers in her hair.

Took my chances on a big jet

plane, never let them tell you

that they're all the same.

The sea was red and the sky was

grey, wondered how tomorrow

could ever follow today.

The mountains and the canyons

started to tremble and shake

as the children of the

sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the Gods

Got a punch on the nose

and it started to flow;

I think I might be sinking.

Throw me a line if I reach it in time

I'll meet you up there where the path

Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,

They say she plays guitar and

cries and sings... la la la

Ride a white mare in

the footsteps of dawn

Tryin' to find a woman who's

never, never, never been born.

Standing on a hill in

my mountain of dreams,

Telling myself it's not as

hard, hard, hard as it seems.
