When You Get to California Lyrics

I used to think I was on my own.
I used to think I was fully grown.
Yeah well everyone thinks
They've got it down cold
And I guess I'm like everyone
But that was before I was unknown.
You'll know when you get to California.
Darling Clementine, it's a state of mind.
You'll now when you get to California.
Freedom's in the air. It's waiting there.


The life that I had back in New York
Was happy enough, or so I always thought.
Yeah, I made a new friend
Who opened my eyes
To what's inside of everyone and
Now I can see I was all talk.

You'll know when you get to California.
Darling Clementine, it's a state of mind.
You'll know when you get to California.
Freedom's in the air. It's waiting there.
You'll know when you get to California
And while the planets turn,
I'm gonna live and I'll learn
