Title California
Lyrictext

How're you doin' out in California
Now that you've made the grade?
Is there a chance you'd think of me
And all the things we did together?

How're you doin' out in California
Now that you've got it made?
You must be glad you made the break
But how I wish you'd stayed

Livin' out in California
Seems to suit you well
But my news is all second hand
So it's hard for me to tell

One day I'll make it out to California

See if it's what it seems
I've been there many times before
But only in my dreams

How're you doin' out in California
Now that you've made the grade?
Is there a chance you'd think of me
And all the things we did together?

How're you doin' out in California
Now that you've got it made?
You must be glad you made the break
But how I wish you'd stayed
