California, Here We Are!
I was born in Texas, raised in Arkansas I was born in Texas, left home, I heard the call I've come to California for honey, milk, and gold Sometimes they will warn you to do what you've been told But if you don't or if you do You'll find yourself somewhere and you won't have a clue I met you in Palestine, a heartbreak high-school beauty queen You were 21, I was 18 Hey, you had my heart when I heard you sing Never thought I'd see you again Well, here I am, just by coincidence Texas, Arkansas California, here we are! However long, however far California, here we are! We came here to be unique, but when we look around we see Different versions of ourselves Sipping tea with someone else This promised land was broken And the words that had been spoken Can't be taken back, so we'll stay here a while Texas, Arkansas California, here we are! However long, however far California, here we are! Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I reckon I will go back home eventually, but I don't know How long it takes to get things done You had a plan; now you've got none You wonder what you'd do back there And wonder what you're doing here Sometimes you leave just so you can go back Texas, Arkansas California, here we are! However long, however far California, here we are! The mockingbirds are squawking words In minor thirds about our major fall The dogwood and the pecan trees Are losing leaves, conceding wondering souls Texas, Arkansas California, here we are! However long, however far California, here we are! Texas, Arkansas California, here we are! However long, however far California, California California, here we are!
