Well I got California on my mind I’m leaving this old town behind I’m tired of sitting and I’m tired of pining I’m going back where the sun is shining I got California on my mind Well I got stuck in this dingy city But I’m not gonna stay I’m tired of these red brick buildings And I’m gonna leave today It’s been one cold and dreadful winter And I’m going back to the grapevine center Pack up my things and be on my way Well I got California on my mind I’m leaving this old town behind I’m tired of sitting and I’m tired of pining I’m going back where the sun is shining I got California on my mind Well I got a gal in Redwood city That I’d sure like to see And I’d bet my bottom dollar She’s still sweet on me Well I’m a homesick bat couldn’t be no sicker I’m proud to say that I’m a prune picker This town and me just don’t agree Well I got California on my mind I’m leaving this old town behind I’m tired of sitting and I’m tired of pining I’m going back where the sun is shining I got California on my mind
