I don't want to go back home There's nothing to go back to No one to admit I never found what I ran away to pursue I'm happy to be away from the grey Happy to be far away When I feel the sunshine on my face It's enough to make me weep Served my time in darkness And spent years asleep Ah there's nothing to take me and the sky The California sky Oh California, maybe you'll be the final resting place I'll finally be free Oh California, I was just passing through I left everything I loved But I won't be leaving you I thought all the places some I lost my baby, now I don't want anyone
I don't want to go back home Anyway it's too late I wanted fame and glory It just wasn't my fate I'm happy to be going nowhere today In the hills above LA Oh California, maybe you'll be the final resting place Finally be free Oh California, I was just passing through I left everything I loved, but I won't be leaving you I left everything I loved, but I won't be leaving you
