"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
