Had I been born in New York City A New York City girl I'd know Workin' in the concrete, not the sunlight Livin' in the New York rain and snow
Oh, there's California bloodlines in my heart And a California woman in my song Oh, there's California bloodlines in my heart And a California heartbeat in my soul
And just to think I might have never known you If I had lived my life in Tennessee But I really could have never let that happen For you and California are in me
Oh, there's California bloodlines in my heart And a California woman in my song Oh, there's California bloodlines in my heart And a California heartbeat in my soul
Have you wondered where we were before we were born? Rollin' 'round the heavens like a song I know it's then I saw the big Sierras Saw a California sunrise comin' on
Oh, there's California bloodlines in my heart And a California woman in my song Oh, there's California bloodlines in my heart And a California heartbeat in my soul
Oh, there's California bloodlines in my heart And a California woman in my song Oh, there's California bloodlines in my heart And a California heartbeat in my soul
