I had a girl
lost her at the flying j
she stole my wallet
this is what she used to say

let's all go to California
let's all go to California
this town ain't got nothin' for ya'
let's all go to California

we'll walk the beaches
make love on the waves
find a guru to teach us
stay out all night and sleep all day
let's all go to California
let's all go to California
this town ain't got nothin' for ya'
let's all go to California

but she didn't quite make it
she didn't quite make it

I had a dream
lost her along the way
she dances with angels
this is what I hear her say

let's all go to California
let's all go to California
this town ain't got nothin' for ya'
let's all go to California
she didn't quite make it
she didn't quite make it
