"California" - The Pretenders







California (Re-mastered for 'Pirate Radio')




California


I don't wanna go back home,
there's nothing to go back to.
No one to admit I've never found,
what I've run away to persue.
I'm happy to be
away from the gray.
Happy to be far away.

When I feel the sunshine on my face
it's enough to make me weak.
I served my time in darkness
and spent years asleep
Now there's nothing between...me 
and the sky
California sky

Oh California
Maybe you'll be 
a final resting place 
I'll finally be free
Oh California
I was just passing through
I've left everything I've got
I won't be leaving you

I've found a place in the sun
I've lost my baby now I don't want anyone.

I don't wanna go where cold is
Anyway it's too late
I wanted fame and glory
it just wasn't my fate
I'm happy to be
going nowhere today
In miserable LA

Oh California
maybe you'll be
a final resting place
I'll finally be free
Oh California
I was just passing through 
I left everything I love
I won't be leaving you

I left everything I love
but I won't be leaving you
