Go west, young man, the signs all seem to say   There's San Diego Frisco or L.A.   Leave that cold, cold woman far behind   Warm yourself in that California sunshine      Go west, young man, become a movie star   Or anything except the fool you are   Expose the lonely corners of your mind   To a little dad of that California sunshine      I need a change, I've headed up to here   She's just playing game that's very clear   But her play mate will soon be hard to find   'Cause I'll be in that California sunshine      They say those California girls are fine   They know how to really walk your mind   Well, one of you get ready 'cause you're mine   I'm headin' for that California sunshine      I need a change, I've headed up to here   She's just playing game that's very clear   But her play mate will soon be hard to find   'Cause I'll be in that California sunshine   Baby, I'll be in that California sunshine
