I'm Still Here (California) Lyrics

THINKING BACK I WAITED FOR THE DAY TO UNFOLD
FOR MY TRUTH TO BE TOLD
LOOKIN' OUT MY ONLY WINDOW
REASONING MY LEAVING THEN SEEMED SO SIMPLE
WITH MY LIFE IN TOW
NOW I'M OUT HERE ON THE HIGHWAY
SO STRANGE WHEN YOU'RE A STRANGER
FEARS THE FEELING FEEDING DANGER
THOUGHT I HEARD YOUR VOICE
BUT IT WAS ONLY ME

CHORUS:
I'M STILL HERE IN CALIFORNIA
MAMA I JUST GOTTA TELL YA
LIFE AIN'T WHAT IT SEEMS
IN THOSE MAGAZINE
WARNED ME BUT DID I BELIEVE YA
ALL THE RESTLESS LONELY PEOPLE
LIVING IN A DREAM
ARE THEY JUST LIKE ME
FOUND MY WAY TO NOWHERE CALI MERRY-GO-ROUND
WHERE IT'S ALL ABOUT
SUNSET ON A SMOGGY WORKDAY
I ARRIVED AT SIX AND BY THE END OF DAY
I WAS ON MY WAY
JUST ANOTHER ONE HIT WONDER
SO STRANGE WHEN YOU'RE A STRANGER
FEARS THE FEELING FEEDING DANGER
THOUGHT I HEARD YOUR VOICE
BUT IT WAS ONLY ME
CHORUS

I'M FREE
PAST THE PAST I LEFT ON MONDAY MORNING
MONDAY MORNING

CHORUS

CALIFORNIA, I GOTTA WARN YA
LOOK AHEAD, FALL IN LOVE, YOU'RE A GONER
REMEMBER THIS, THE FIRST DAY
IT'S SORTA LIKE YOUR BIRTHDAY
TIME FLIES, NO LONGER NEW TO THIS
I GUESS YOU JUST GET USED TO IT
CALIFORNIA, I GOTTA WARN YA
CALIFORNIA, I GOTTA WARN YA
