Tony Joe White - California On My Mind lyrics
[Tony Joe White - California On My Mind lyrics]
And I can feel the blues coming down on me
If only wishing worked for me
There's a place I'd like to be
But my wishes never do come true for me
California on my mind
I want to feel your warm sunshine
I know that it would set me free
Just to feel that ocean breeze
And I could hear a good song night or day
I would walk the country mile
To see a California smile
But these old dark clouds tell me it's so far away
California on my mind
I want to feel your warm sunshine
I guess I could go walking just the same
And make believe it's California rain
But it's not the same
And it's a sin
I guess I sit here in my room
And try to think of a happy tune
I watch a TV-show I've seen before
Oh, mister sun, you've let me down
The least you could do is come around
Would you please tell me what you are away for
California on my mind
I want to feel your warm sunshine
Today, hey hey hey
Oh yeah
