I was born in California Raised up by the trees Came out from the mountain Heart’s a following the breeze One more night I’ll be sleepin' here out in west Virginia Don’t seem right for me to be so far from home Would be nice to march my feet down to old sequoia Ya those pines and those hills can mend my soul ‘Cause I was born in California Raised up by the trees Came out from the mountain Heart’s a following the breeze One more day one more town one more drive and I’ll be On my way back to the fields where I belong Cross those states cross my heart and hope that the end is comin' ‘Cause I’ve been gone For far too long Where I was born in California Raised up by the trees Came out from the mountain Heart’s following the breeze
