I miss California
The beaches and the tides
The highways that stretch on forever
Take you for a ride
I miss California
The sand between my toes
The feeling that you get when you
Watch the waves just flow
I miss California
There's nothing I can do
A thousand miles and that water
Calls to me anew
Someday I'll reach the ocean
Someday I'll swim again
And when I reach the waters, God
My heart will jump right in
LA to San Francisco
San Diego to Crescent City
I'll spend my day on the PCH
'Cause God I miss that beautiful place
I miss California
The cities and the lights
Those giant letters Hollywood
Are shining in the night
I miss California
The tallest trees I know
Redwoods that stretch on for miles
And sometimes even snow
I miss California
And sometimes I don't know
If I'll ever find a way
Back to your sandy shore
But someday I'll reach the ocean
Someday I'll swim again
And when I reach the waters, God
My heart will jump right in
LA to San Francisco
San Diego to Crescent City
I'll spend my day on the PCH
'Cause God I miss that beautiful place
There's a fire in my soul, a desire to get home
Oh California, you're my lady, you're my queen
All my friends I left behind
Memories and Pacific Time
I left them all when I went away
Someday I'll reach the ocean
Someday I'll swim again
And when I reach the waters, God
My heart will jump right in
LA to San Francisco
San Diego to Crescent City
I'll spend my day on the PCH
'Cause God I miss that beautiful place
