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
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
