What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Sitting in a park in Paris, France
2
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
3
They won't give peace a chance
4
That was just a dream some of us had
5
Still a lot of land to see
6
But I wouldn't stay here
7
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here.
8
Oh, but California
9
California, I'm coming home
10
I'm going to see the folks I dig
11
I'll even kiss a sunset pig
12
California, I'm coming home.
13
I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
14
Who did the goat dance very well
15
He gave me back my smile
16
But he kept my camera to sell
17
Oh the rogue, the red red rogue
18
He cooked good omelets and stews
19
And I might have stayed on with him there
20
But my heart cried out for you, California
21
Oh California, I'm coming home
22
Oh make me feel good rock' roll band
23
I'm your biggest fan
24
California, I'm coming home
25
Oh it gets so lonely
26
When you're walking
27
And the streets are full of strangers
28
All the news of home you read
29
Just gives you the blues
30
Just gives you the blues
31
So I bought me a ticket
32
I got on a plane to Spain
33
Went to a party down a red dirt road
34
There were lots of pretty people there
35
Reading Rolling Stone, reading Vogue
36
They said, How long can you hang around?
37
I said a week, maybe two
38
Just until my skin turns brown
39
Then I'm going home to California
40
California, I'm coming home
41
Oh will you take me as I am
42
Strung out on another man
43
California, I'm coming home
44
Oh it gets so lonely
45
When you're walking
46
And the streets are full of strangers
47
All the news of home you read
48
More about the war
49
And the bloody changes
50
Oh will you take me as I am?
51
Will you take me as I am?
52
Will you?
53
Will you take me as I am?
54
Take me as I am
