lyrics

Oooh L.A., Oooh L.A.

I walk the streets a subway token in my hand,
New York's so cold I should be lying in the sand,
I'm leaving here tomorrow to go to promised lands
What can I do about it,
My faith is lost without it

CH:
God Bless California,
With your sun and shining sea,
You're the only state
where peace of mind
Washes over me

The East is cold and lonely,
Snowy dark and gray,
It's always raining here, I gotta get away
I'm taking out my girl to Malibu today
What can I do about it,
My faith is lost without it

CH:
God Bless California,
With your sun and shining sea,
You're the only state
where peace of mind
Washes over me

Oooh L.A., Oooh L.A.
Oooh L.A., Oooh L.A.
