How're you doin' out in California
Now that you've made the grade?
Is there a chance you'd think of me
And all the things we did together?

How're you doin' out in California
Now that you've got it made?
You must be glad you made the break
But how I wish you'd stayed

Livin' out in California
Seems to suit you well
But my news is all second hand
So it's hard for me to tell

One day I'll make it out to California
See if it's what it seems
I've been there many times before
But only in my dreams

(INSTRUMENTAL)

One day I'll make it out to California
See if it's what it seems
I've been there many times before
But only in my dreams

Oh, it could be the money
It could be the sun
Something's keeping you away from me
California look what you've done
Oh, oh
