I got off the airplane 'long about 7:30 in LA
|
What a drag to realize that everything's so different and so same
|
All my California friends are searching for their minds
|
And it's been right there in their heads all the time
|
LA blues LA blues you want me to be like you ha ha there ain't no way
|
[ harmonica + guitar ]
|
California Charlie met me at my room when I got in
|
We toasted country picking and the help of all our good and mutual friends
|
Before the morning came we put a handle on the world
|
And decided that we'd give it to the squirrels
|
LA blues LA blues you want me to be like you ha ha there ain't no way
|
[ harmonica + guitar ]
|
Soaking up that sunshine and eatin' eggs and bacon over light
|
Sleeping through the daytime and contemplatin' sin thru'out the night
|
Please hand me my hat and darling give me back my things
|
Ole T's got a bunch of songs to sing
|
LA blues LA blues you want me to be like you ha ha there ain't no way
|
[ harmonica + guitar ]
|
I like California and I wouldn't want to put it down no way
|
But I heard what you're thinking and it ain't exactly what I want to say
|
Someday California I'll come roarin' back to you
|
If you don't fall in the ocean before I do
|
LA blues LA blues you want me to be like you ha ha there ain't no way
|
