Lately, I've been low, things been movin' slow
E A E E A E
I could not tell you why, maybe too much paradise
A F#m [REST] E A - E
Somethin' came a-calling and I knew this time I had to go
E A E E A E
Dreamers down the road, I wound up in a land of gold
E A E E A E
I was headstrong with an open eye, and a wanderer's alibi
A F#m [REST] E A - E
Headin' towards the canyon, I abandoned everything I owned
[CHORUS]

California, I don't even know ya, you're takin' me away from home

Old magnolia, I'll never get over ya, a feelin's running straight to my bones
B A E
Someday I'll be comin' home
B A D~~~~~ [E A - E x2]
Someday I'll be comin' home with a cast iron soul
E A E E A E
It was a windy mountain road, where the sun shines and the air is cold
E A E E A E
Another tired town, where them old folks hang around

They look me in the eye and try to pass me down what they know
[CHORUS]

I can see the water I, I can taste the sea

I keep on movin' farther from where I need to be
