How're you doin' out in California

Now that you've made the grade?

Is there a chance you'd think of me

And all the things we did together?



How're you doin' out in California

Now that you've got it made?

You must be glad you made the break

But how I wish you'd stayed



Livin' out in California

Seems to suit you well

But my news is all second hand

So it's hard for me to tell



One day I'll make it out to California

See if it's what it seems

I've been there many times before

But only in my dreams



         (INSTRUMENTAL)



One day I'll make it out to California

See if it's what it seems

I've been there many times before 

But only in my dreams



Oh, it could be the money

It could be the sun

Something's keeping you away from me

California look what you've done

Oh, oh
