California
Music & Lyrics by Tyler Hilton
A man on the corner said “son, what would you choose”
The life that you're living or these pair of traveling shoes
There's a place called 'California' and the road there is free
So, it's off to California for me
The bus is always stopping and the train moves too slow so I'm
Hitch-hiking my way to the California coast
Well, I'm leaving my woman, hell I’m leavin all three
But there's more in California for me
I got a passion for a place I never saw
With it's wide open spaces but no space to have a law
Well, the first thing that I'm doing is I'm cutting down a tree
To make some space in California for me
Now boys can’t you hear me, I’m new here and it’s fair
Show a fellow around the town to get accustom to the air
I’ve got jokes for gentlemen as long as drinks are free
The first night in California for me
Well, I'll be damned if there's no empty land unless I pay
More then what I'd ever have if I kept all I paid
I won't be searching for California more
A place like California ain't got no room for the poor
But a judging man I've never been and never will I be
A man of California, so long to California
No more California for me!
