On my way to sunny California
|
On my way to spend another sunny day
|
|
Water, water get yourself in the cool, clear, water
|
The sun shines brightly down on Penny's place
|
The sun shines brightly down on the bay
|
The air's so clean it'll just take your mind away
|
Take your mind away
|
Take your mind away
|
|
Have you ever been south of Monterey
|
Barrancas carve the coast line and the chaparral flows to the sea
|
'Neath waves of golden sunshine
|
And have you ever been north of Morro Bay
|
The south coast plows the sea
|
And the people there are of the breed
|
They don't need electricity
|
Water, water, cool cascades of clear, clear water
|
The sun dance final scene sets the hills ablaze.
|
Horizon edges quick up the mountain's way.
|
|
Have you ever been down Salinas way?
|
Where Steinbeck found the valley
|
And he wrote about it the way it was in his travelin's with Charley
|
And have you ever walked down through the sycamores
|
Where the farmhouse used to be
|
There the monarch's autumn journey ends
|
On a windswept cyprus tree
|
|
Water get water get yourself in that
|
Get yourself in that get yourself in that cool, clear, water
|
The sun shines brightly down on Penny's place
|
Get yourself in that water
|
The air's so clean that it just takes your mind away
|
Take your mind away
|
Take your mind away
|
|
Have you ever been to a festival, the Big Sur congregation?
|
Where Country Joe will do his show
|
And he'd sing about liberty
|
And the people there in the open air, one big family.
|
Yeah the people there love to sing and share
|
Their new found liberty
|
