Intro
I rem ember I was in the tanning salon,
When I h eard that River Phoenix was gone.
They s ay that only the good die young,
But that ain't true where I come from:
California, Cali fornia.
Chorus
It took a lot for me to say,
I wanna walk away L.A.,
From the sharks and the chardonn ay,
In California, in Cali fornia.
Four in the morning, we were in our beds,
The s waying palm trees above our heads
Woke up to the primal rumbling sound,
When the N orthridge quake ripped open the ground,
California, Calif ornia.
Chorus
It took a lot for me to say,
I wanna walk away L.A.,
From the sharks and the chardonn ay,
In California, in Cali fornia.
Bridge
Golden State, I'm back in the Golden State,
Golden State of mind.
Golden State, I'm back in the Golden State,
Golden State of mind.

Chorus
It took a lot for me to say,
I wanna walk away L.A.,
From the sharks and the chardonn ay,
In California, in California.
Walk, walk, walk aw ay.
Walk, walk, walk aw ay.
I rem ember I was in the tanning salon,
When I h eard that River Phoenix was gone.
