California

(album: Head First - 1979)

When I came back home from the USA
I had nothing in my pockets and not a lot to say
Though I knew somehow we would meet real soon
But the way you've been avoiding me
It's like I'm living on the moon

Here I am on this side of the stars
Living in California
And sometimes I get out of reach in the bars
Dreaming about my life
And maybe one day I'll take a wife

Though I spent some time on the evil road
I've done things that I'm ashamed of
Oh man it's such a heavy load
Though I knew somehow we would meet real soon
But the way you've been avoiding me
It's like I'm living on the moon

Here I am on this side of the stars
Living in California
And sometimes I get out of reach in the bars
Dreaming about my life
And maybe one day I'll take a wife
Oh

I miss you girl
Your dreams are more than I can take
You are the love of my life
But I could be my biggest mistake
Ah babe my heart's turning like a wheel
I feel emotion for you but I just can't tell if it's real

When I came back home from the USA
I had nothing in my pockets and not a lot to say
Though I knew somehow we would meet real soon
But the way you've been avoiding me
It's like I'm living on the moon

Here I am on this side of the stars
Living in California
And sometimes I get out of reach in the bars
Dreaming about my life
And maybe one day I'll take a wife
Oh ooh baby oh I miss you girl
