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
|
