California Songtext

von Steve Poltz

Well, the palm trees grow real tall
Down South California
And I'll ride my bike real fast or slow
I gotta warn ya

And I don't know
If I can answer all those letters
And I don't know
If I'll get out of here and get better

And I don't know
If I'll be coming home
And I don't know
If I'll be coming home soon

Well, they feed you twice a day 'round here
I gotta tell ya
And if you got no insurance, well, hell
They'll find a way to bill ya

They give me focus groups
That I can't seem to follow
The beds here are so hard
At least I have a pillow

And I don't know
If I'll be coming home
And I don't know
If I'll be coming home soon

Count the days 'til you arrive
Pick me up in your old ride
We could sit there side by side
Side by side by side by side

Well, it's a head check here and then a gut check there
And then a shock wave
And I can wear the same clothes everyday
I never have to shave

They say if I take these
Then maybe I won't feel old
I got so good just staring out this lonely window

And I don't know
If I'll be coming home
And I don't know
If I'll be coming home soon
