Spent my days with a lover unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Goin' to California with an achin' in my heart
Someone told me that the folks out there
With love in their eyes and flowers in their hair
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let 'em tell you that they're all the same, no no
The sea was red and the sky was grey
I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
The children of the sun begin to awake, hello
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it's startin' to flow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path runs straight and high
I'll be a queen, I'll find a king
We'll play guitars and cry and sing
Na na na na na na na na
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a lover who's never, never been born
Standin' on a hill in my mountain of dreams
Tellin' myself it's not as hard as it seems
