California Lyrics by Belinda Carlisle
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I remember I was In the tanning salon
When I heard that River Phoenix was gone
They say that only the good die young
But that ain't true where I come from
California...California

It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away, LA
From the sharks and the Chardonnay
In California...California

4 in the morning we were in our beds
The swaying palm trees above our heads
Woke up to a primal rumbling sound
When the Northridge quake ripped open the
ground
California...California

It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away LA
from the sharks and the Chardonnay
In California... In California

Golden State, I'm back in the Golden State
Golden State of Mind
Golden State, I'm back In the Golden State
Golden State of Mind

It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away LA
From the sharks and the Chardonnay
In California... In California
Walk, walk away

I remember I was in the tanning salon
When I heard that River Phoenix was gone...
I remember I was In the tanning salon   When I heard that River Phoenix was gone   They say that only the good die young   But that ain't true where I come from   California...California      It took a lot for me to say   I want to walk away, LA   From the sharks and the Chardonnay   In California...California      4 in the morning we were in our beds    The swaying palm trees above our heads   Woke up to a primal rumbling sound   When the Northridge quake ripped open the   ground    California...California      It took a lot for me to say   I want to walk away LA   from the sharks and the Chardonnay   In California... In California      Golden State, I'm back in the Golden State   Golden State of Mind   Golden State, I'm back In the Golden State   Golden State of Mind      It took a lot for me to say   I want to walk away LA   From the sharks and the Chardonnay   In California... In California   Walk, walk away      I remember I was in the tanning salon    When I heard that River Phoenix was gone...
