we don't need a map
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
If we leave our friends then we can be together
We can leave this town if only for the weather
I could drive and you could sleep
While the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats
- Metro Station, California
You’re gone
I’m miles away
Turning out your lights
Ten different ways I could end this night
Can’t do this anymore
Won’t feel you anymore
How long I’ll wait
Just to say goodbye, say goodbye
Leave it all the fights and all
Summer’s getting colder
Drive all night to hold you tight
Back to California
- Sugarcult, Back to California
wait for me to move out west
it's okay if you don't
I hope you know
you're my favorite thing about the west coast
I wish I stayed, I hope you wait
so here I am
counting down the days till California comes.
- Starting Line, Playing Favorites
Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from
- Phantom Planet, California
Well I've been spending too much time in California
where your feelings change but seasons never do.
- Sherwood, I'm Asking Her to Stay
On nights, like tonight
The wind speaks to us through trees
Singing lullabies by moonlight
Your smile rocking us to sleep
The music found in silence is keeping me awake
And like the ground in California your eyes still make me shake.
- Too Sorry For Apologies, California
Still a lot of lands to see
But I wouldn't want to stay here
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh, but California
California I'm coming home
- Joni Mitchell, California
all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
if I was in L.A
California dreamin'
on such a winter's day
- The Mama's and the Papa's, California Dreaming
I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my starbed and make another day
Underneath my California stars
- Billy Bragg & Wilco, California Stars
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
Welcome to the hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin it up at the hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
- The Eagles, Hotel California
Isn't she supposed to be in California?
I heard she was living in a west coast town
selling margaritas in a tiki hut on the beach
Isn't she on the other side of the Rockies?
- Carolina Rain, Isn't She
