Gettin born in the state of Missippi
Pappa was a copper and momma was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing her hammer
Price ya gotta pay when ya break the panorama

She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for
Black Bandanna, sweet Lousianna
Robbing on a bank in the state of Indianna

She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
Come from everyway sayin baby whatcha gonna
Looking down the barrel of a hot metal 45
Just another way to survive

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my preistess, I'm your priest

She's a lover, baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen her coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya

A little loaded, she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my preistess, I'm your priest

Who knew the other side of you
Who knew that other side you proved
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true too sad sad sad

first to fade her, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a comin for the quota

Down in the badlands she was saving the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my preistess, I'm your priest

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my preistess, I'm your priest
