marcel ardans - california lyrics
[verse 1]
california
she’s a wandering state
there’s miles and miles
of asphalt and waste
[verse 2]
but there’s a river
a lifetime away in arizona
we’re only stopping
to lay down and eat
[pre+chorus]
and they’re all laughing off the talk
waiting for a big break
’til the big one busts the block
and it ain’t hard
to see the fault
stars along the sidewalk
walking pillars of salt
[chorus]
now i know noah fled
with high water ahead
and i hang my head when i say
it’s just a little more time
’til that water gonna rise
and wash all them sinners away
[fiddle break]
[verse 3]
i know an old song
about a wild western outlaw
and every night he’d sing the
cattle all to sleep
[verse 4]
but i ain’t sleeping
my eyes are on the road
the city lights are fading now
’cause phoenix ain’t my home
[pre+chorus]
and they’re all laughing off the rumors
shipping in the water where no
ship could find a drop
the empty homes of baby boomers
cookie cutter houses
where the sun cooks up the crops
[chorus]
now i know moses led
took his people and fled
so i hang my head when i say
there’s a whole lotta sand
’til you hit promise land
and wash all your troubles away
[guitar break]
[bridge]
troubles high and troubles low
i’ve found trouble wherever i go
troubled mind and a troubled soul
i’ve got miles and miles of miles and miles of
[chorus]
now i know moses led
took his people and fled
so i hang my head when i say
there’s a whole lotta sand
’til you hit promise land
and wash all your troubles away
[outro]
california
she’s a wandering state
there’s miles and miles
of asphalt and waste
