Caroline wasn’t good enough; everyone could see
Made a lie, and the fabric of everywhere had come
It’s all right now, it’s okay…everyone lies
It’s all right now, it’s okay…everyone lies…
In…their…shoes
The stars will come shining down as I fall out on my knees in California
Here I can stay the same as I was when I was twenty-one
I got change in my pockets say
I got change in my head
I got change in my pockets say
I got change in my head…
In California
Love my sister and my brother too for they are wise
Love my friends from long ago; I hate to say goodbye
Love my father and my mother though they’ll never know
Maybe out to California they might someday go
I wonder whether California last forever –
That separation is gone away to go astray, and I cannot say but
That situation is stronger than a broken man who’s riding on the
Sun burns a hole in my heart forever-lasting whether I will see the Day fall away into night
