Take me back to California
West Coast, I'm coming home
Take me back to California
Right where I started from

California, that's where I lived my whole life
California, bury me there when I die

Take me back to California
That's where my body will lie
Take me back to California
That's where I'll go when I die

I've been sticking it out
For one thousand miles on the 101 South
The distance feels like it kills
From San Francisco to the Hollywood Hills

California, that's where I lived my whole life
California, bury me there when I die

Take me back to California
West Coast, I'm coming home
Take me back to California
Right where I started from

I'm coming home to Cali
From the red wood trees all the way to the Valley
The distance feels like it kills
From San Francisco to the Hollywood Hills

California, that's where I lived my whole life
California, bury me there when I die

Take me back to California
West Coast, I'm coming home
Take me back to California
Right where I started from

California, bury me there when I die
