California (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

It’s a 3 day drive – if she drives all night
Say’s she’s leavin’ at the crack of dawn
Well she might still be lyin’ here with me
But in her heart she’s already gone
Already packed up, the Altima’s gassed up
She’s done put the map up there on the dash
I’m all tore up just tryin’ to man up
Dammin’ these tears up but can’t hold ‘em back

(Cuz) she’s in love with California
And that west coast sunshine dream
These ain’t no Hollywoods
And these hills ain’t Beverly
There ain’t no beaches on these backroads
No sunset on the boulevard
She’s in love with California
And breakin’ my heart

Got a waitress job waitin’ in ihop
Throw a rock and hit Universal City
Got a glamour shot in her hip pocket
Hopin’ somebody thinks she’s pretty
By this time tomorrow she’ll hit Colorado
I’ll be drownin’ my sorrow in a bottle of Beam
Before she hits Flagstaff maybe she’ll backtrack
But I wouldn’t bet that if I was me

(Cuz) she’s in love with California
And that west coast sunshine dream
These ain’t no Hollywoods
And these hills ain’t Beverly
There ain’t no beaches on these backroads
No sunset on the boulevard
She’s in love with California
And breakin’ my heart

She was all mine
But now it’s go time

She’s in love with California
And that west coast sunshine dream
These ain’t no Hollywoods
And these hills ain’t Beverly
There ain’t no beaches on these backroads
No sunset on the boulevard
She’s in love with California
And breakin’ my heart
Well she’s in love with California
And breakin’ my heart

Oh she’s breakin’ my heart

California (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Sitting in a park in Paris, France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won’t give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot are left to see
But I wouldn’t want to stay here
It’s too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh, but california
California I’m coming home
I’m going to see the folks I dig
I’ll even kiss a sunset pig
California I’m coming home

I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to sell
Oh the rogue, the red red rogue
He cooked good omelettes and stews
And I might have stayed on with him there
But my heart cried out for you, California
California I’m coming home
Oh make me feel good rock’n roll band
I’m your biggest fan
California, I’m coming home

Chorus:

Oh it gets so lonely
When you’re walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
Just gives you the blues
Just gives you the blues

So I bought me a ticket
I caught a plane to Spain
Went to a party down a red dirt road
There were lots of pretty people there
Reading rolling stone, reading vogue
They said, how long can you hang around?
I said a week, maybe two,
Just until my skin turns brown
Then I’m going home to California
California I’m coming home
Will you take me as I am
Strung out on another man
California I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Yeah
Take me as I am
Will you
Will you

Don’t you know baby I’m a leading man
I dig down deep when I say I love you
Well I can hold my own with the best of them
I guarantee you, you never seen nothin’
Nothin’ like this again

California say that you love me
From all the darkness I couldn’t break through
Now, I miss the ocean when I go to sleep
Oh man, it’s gonna break my heart

Don’t you know that I did the things I did
I rubbed your back when you were sleeping
But all along baby it was understood
That you were leaving, absolutely
The very first day we met

California say that you miss me
From all the darkness I couldn’t break through
I’m gonna miss you
I’m gonna miss you
I’m gonna miss you

I’m gonna miss ya
I’m gonna miss you
I’m gonna miss ya
I’m gonna miss you

I’m gonna miss you…

Verse # 1

I open my eyes to see her face
In a daze we engaged
Last night i slept about an hour
To fill her needs and desires

Chorus

One more night in california, one more night with you
One more night
Ya she’s alright, she’s alright
One more night, one more night
In california

Verse # 2

I need to catch a ride
To the south side
I grabbed a patty and a shake
I felt the earth quake
I jumped in cab for lax
I flipped him a tip, hey man!
Then i split

I opened my eyes
To see her face

We’ve been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing’s gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Pedal to the floor
Thinkin’ of the roar
Gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

california, california
You’re such a wonder that i think i’ll stay in bed
Big time rollers, part time models
So much to plunder
That i think i’ll sleep instead

I don’t know this sea of neon
Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon
And big nights back east with rhoda
California please

There’s a moment
I’ve been saving
A kind of crucifix around this munchkin land
Up north freezing, little me drooling
That’s entertainment’s on at eight
Come on ginger slam

I don’t know this sea of neon
Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon
And my new grandma bea arthur
Come on over

Ain’t it a shame that at the top
Peanut butter and jam they served you
Ain’t it a shame that at the top
Still those soft skin boys can bruise you
Yes i fell for a streaker

I don’t know this sea of neon
Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon

Ain’t it a shame
That all the world can’t enjoy your mad traditions
Ain’t it a shame that all the world
Don’t got keys to their own ignitions
Life is the longest death in california

California
You’re such a wonder that i think i’ll stay in bed
So much to plunder that i think i’ll sleep instead
You’re such a wonder that i think i’ll stay in bed
So much to plunder that i think i’ll sleep instead

California (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

On a lonely day
I look out on the freeway
I can fantazise bout the car i drive
Dont need the light on
I can find my way
Its been so long now i have to say

Chorus
Im going to california
Going to live the life
Sippin’ on tequila
Night after night
Dreaming of the moment when everything is right
A little bit of love goes a long
Way tonight

Verse 2
Im on my way (im on my way)
Heading for the sun
Thats where i’ll stay (that’s where i’ll stay)
Im never going back home
Do you ever feel like
You need a change
Hang out where noone knows your name

Chorus

Would you like to meet me there
We’ll be dancing on the sand (dancing)
These days will never end
They’ll go on and on and on

Repeat verse 1

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

California got her right
You will have to wait
Calling from the golden gate

Sentimental sparrows
Keeping me awake
Funny how the morning’s late
Funny how the morning’s late

Come around with your heavenly smile
Come around and drag me out again
After a while we can sit and watch them all rush by
Come around and drag me out again
Come around and drag me out again

Always wanted to leave
Always felt that i’d get stopped
But i could never see myself
In anybody else’s arms
In anybody else’s arms

Come around with your heavenly smile
Come around and drag me out again
After a while we can sit and watch them all rush by
Come around and drag me out again
Come around and drag me out again

Always wanted to leave
Always felt that i’d get stopped
But i could never see myself
No i could never see myself
With anybody else

If you want a piece of my life
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna kiss then do it fast
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna practice, spill the past
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line

California’s angel
It’s more than i can stand
Calling down the sunset’s pain
Sentimental star unsolved
As soon as we wake
Funny in the morning state
Funny in this morning state

If you want a piece of my life
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna kiss then do it fast
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna practice, spill the past
Get in line, baby get in line
I will smile and chuckle till the last
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line

California (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

She lived at the end of a little dirt road
In a house where secrets go untold
Barefoot in a cotton dress
Dark hair in a tangled mess
And a head full of crazy dreams
She said

I’m goin’ to California
A place where the sun always shines
I’m goin’ to California
And I’m leavin’ everything behind

You can’t help but feel a little bit touched
When your daddy loves you a little too much
You can wish on four leaf clovers
But all the fields have been plowed over
And there’s nothin’ left to do but fly away
She said

I’m goin’ to California
A place where the sun always shines
I’m goin’ to California
And I’m leavin’ everything behind

Stars burn like candles on that two-lane highway
She made her wish, and disappeared on her 18th birthday
And she said

I’m goin’ to California
A place where the sun always shines
I’m goin’ to California
And I’m leavin’ everything behind

I’m goin’ to California
And I’m leavin’ everything behind

Oh California
I’m goin’ to California
Oh California
Leavin’ it all behind
California

I’m gonna ride in a big jet plane
And you won’t see me around here no more
The morning drive is never easy
It’s always the same
And I don’t want to be the one who closes my door
Cause I don’t beat around

I got jumped for no reason
It wasn’t safe for me anymore 
That’s why
I’m gonna live in California

I wanna fly in a plastic Chevrolet
Racing cars
See some stars
Just a few famous names
Life on Mars is just as hard
It could be all the same
Let’s say goodbye to Nelly Ollson
And make other plans 
I’m not going to stick around

I got jumped for no reason
It wasn’t safe for me anymore
That’s why
I’m gonna live in California
I’m gonna live in California
California
California

No I don’t need anyone
No I don’t need anyone
No I don’t need anyone

I got jumped for no reason
It wasn’t safe for me anymore 
That’s why
I’m gonna live in California

I got jumped for no reason
It wasn’t safe for me anymore 
That’s why
I’m gonna live in California

[Verse 1]

Starin out my window at you
Gettin by aint the same without you
And I aint the same without you
Can’t even do my thing without you
So Long
To the one I Love
And I remember how it was
I wish I could be back there cuz
I wanna be back where I can…

[Chorus]
Take the top off the ride
We can cruise around
Listen to the sound as the sun goes down
And there’s a party goin on every corner
Thatz why i gotta be in California
We can take the top off the ride
And hit the shore
We can hit sunset
We can hit the stores
And there’s a party goin on every corner
Thatz why i gotta be in California

[Verse 2]
Starin out my window at you
Gettin by aint the same without you
But life aint the same without you
Cuz I know that it will be too long
Before I see you
Tears from my eyes cry too
Tears from my eyes cry too
I love it when the breeze comes through
So as soon as I get back I’m gonna…

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Top of the ride
We can cruise around
Listen to the sounds till the sun goes down
And there’s a party goin on every corner
Thatz why i gotta be in California Baby
Top off the ride
And hit the shore
We can hit sunset
There aint no better sunset

[Rap]
We in the city with the cadillacs
The chevolets
And it be sunny every day
It never rains
And we be in ‘em Drop Top
Wit Hop Hop
Gettin 3 wheels lookin for the spots
With them mamis in the party pants
And cornrows
Thatz anywhere from Crenshaw to Melrose
We ridin down sunset
Long as i got a blunt left
If you can smell you can tell
I’m from the west

Now kids i gotta warn ya
‘cause i’ve been to california
Where they’ve got a new religion
And they’d love for you to give in
Well i’m here to say that we’ll seize the day
We’re still here to stay
We’ll never fade away
Well i don’t wanna bore ya
But i’ve been to california
Where everybody’s reachin’
For somethin’ to believe in
Waiting for the day that we’ll rise away
Still here to stay
We’ll never fade away
So say i didn’t warn ya
‘bout southern california
Where they got a new affliction
And it hangs like an addiction
I’ve been to california¡­

When i came back home from the usa
I had nothin’ in my pockets and not a lot to say
Though i knew somehow we would meet real soon
But the way you’ve been avoidin’ me
It’s like i’m livin’ on the moon
Here i am on this side of the stars
Livin’ in california
And sometimes i get out of reach in the bars
Dreamin’ about my life
And maybe one day i’ll take a wife
Though i spent some time on the evil road
I’ve done things that i’m ashamed of
Oh man it’s such a heavy load
Though i knew somehow we would meet real soon
But the way you’ve been avoidin’ me
It’s like i’m livin’ on the moon
Here i am on this side of the stars
Livin’ in california
And sometimes i get out of reach in the bars
Dreamin’ about my life
And maybe one day i’ll take a wife
Oh
I miss you girl
Your dreams are more than i can take
You are the love of my life
But i could be my biggest mistake
Ah babe my heart’s turnin’ like a wheel
I feel emotion for you but i just can’t tell if it’s real
When i came back home from the usa
I had nothin’ in my pockets and not a lot to say
Though i knew somehow we would meet real soon
But the way you’ve been avoidin’ me
It’s like i’m livin’ on the moon
Here i am on this side of the stars
Livin’ in california
And sometimes i get out of reach in the bars
Dreamin’ about my life
And maybe one day i’ll take a wife
Oh ooooh baby oh i miss you girl

I remember i was in the tanning salon
When i heard that river phoenix was gone
They say that only the good die young
But that ain’t true where i come from
California…california

It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away, la
From the sharks and the chardonnay
In california…california

4 in the morning we were in our beds
The swaying palm trees above our heads
Woke up to a primal rumbling sound
When the northridge quake ripped open the
Ground
California…california

It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away la
From the sharks and the chardonnay
In california… in california

Golden state, i’m back in the golden state
Golden state of mind
Golden state, i’m back in the golden state
Golden state of mind

It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away la
From the sharks and the chardonnay
In california… in california
Walk, walk away

I remember i was in the tanning salon
When i heard that river phoenix was gone…

I miss the way you sing low
So can’t I hear your voice over
The radio in my car
But you knew every word they sang
You KNOW just the right thing to say when the
Distance rips us farther and farther and farther away
I’ll see you soon

If you’re coming back this way again
Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
Are starved for your attention
Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
Are starved for your attention

Maybe I fell too fast
Maybe I pushed you away
Now you’re gone and I’m afraid
That you’re never coming back this away again

I’ll see you soon
If you’ll come back here
I’ll see you soon
Just say that you want to see me too

Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
Are starve for your attention
Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
Are starved for your attention

You know I won’t mind if you
Monopolize all my time
I won’t say a thing at all
I won’t say a word no

So come back from California
Come back from California

Too many times i’ve dreamt about you
Seen too many days without the sun
‘cause i know it shines all the day through
And in too many ways, i miss the sun

So wait for me california

Too many times i’ve my heart ache
None of those times have i felt you

So far to go, but how it’s worthwhile
Just get me back where i belong
Your local mountains of love of such style
And every day is like a song

So wait for me california

Driven through the canyons I was
Dazzled by the mountains and we didn’t go very far
Close enough to heaven if you
Climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star

I tried to get inside I bought a
Ticket with my pride and I was gone right out of my head
I went out for a ride to go
Across a great divide and I ended up at home instead

California
I thought I should see
Now I’m back home, yeah
With twelve little pieces of me

I was just a passenger a
Rider on the tremors that were shaking all our beds at night
A visitor a stranger thought I
Might pass for a regular if I just kept out of the lights

Tore my heart out from my chest
Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul
Chose the ones I loved the most
Drove ‘em all down to the coast
Threw ‘em in a big black hole

California
I thought I should see
Now I’m back home, yeah
With twelve little pieces of me
California
I dreamed I would find
Some kinda sorta pick-me-up
I got twelve little pieces of my mind
