California — Chuck Berry

California, California Much has been told me about your beautiful sunshine Mountains and snow tops, valleys and rich crops California, home so far from mine

San Francisco, Sacramento Will I ever go to Los Angeles or San Diego ? To Reading or Fresno Needles or Borstow, California I have so far to go

Someday I will be in California And go to places movie stars have been Hollywood and trolley cars and oranges And see the palm trees bending in the wind

California, California Soon I'll be with you watching your sunset in the evening Movies and show plays, beaches and free ways California, from my home I'll be leaving

California, California Soon I'll be with you watching your sunset in the evening Movies and show plays, beaches and free ways California, for my home I'm leaving
