California lyrics
by Belinda Carlisle



I remember I was in the tanning salonWhen I heard that River Phoenix was goneThey say that only the good die youngBut that ain't true where I come fromCalifornia...CaliforniaIt took a lot for me to sayI want to walk away, LAFrom the sharks and the ChardonnayIn California...California4 in the morning we were in our bedsThe swaying palm trees above our headsWoke up to a primal rumbling soundWhen the Northridge quake ripped open thegroundCalifornia...CaliforniaIt took a lot for me to sayI want to walk away LAfrom the sharks and the ChardonnayIn California... In CaliforniaGolden State, I'm back in the Golden StateGolden State of MindGolden State, I'm back In the Golden StateGolden State of MindIt took a lot for me to sayI want to walk away LAFrom the sharks and the ChardonnayIn California... In CaliforniaWalk, walk awayI remember I was in the tanning salonWhen I heard that River Phoenix was gone...
