California Blues

                                  Sittin' up here in a big house 

LA goes on far as I can see

got an old time feelin' 

somewhere down the line is calling me

been going' through the pages of my mind

wonder what I think I'm gonna find

it don't matter anyway

tomorrow I'll be leavin' you, LA.



California Blues, I know you well

what the hell, you're nothin' new to me

California Blues, you can never tell

could be I loved her more than she could see



Now, I walked in here grinnin'

I ain't winnin' but I'm leavin' like I came

I gambled with the love she gave

and like a fool I did not know the game

but the closest thing to winning must be losin'

and now and then it gets so damned confusin'

but it don't matter anyway

tomorrow I'll be leavin' you, LA



California Blues, I know you well

what the hell, you're nothin' new to me

California Blues, you can never tell

could be I loved her more than she could see

could be I wasn't what she wanted me to be
