Words and music by John Kay      When I returned here back from the Islands   You know I couldn't say enough 'bout old Kauai   But now I'm out here on the road   Calling friends back home   But I just get the phone machine and this reply      Ain't nobody home in California   All your friends have gone to Molokai   Ain't nobody home in California   Everybody's off to see Hawaii      May your journey seem forever   May the Islands touch your heart   And if you leave it all the way you found it   May the peace that you'll find never part      I wish I'd be there, back in the Islands   You know, I'd ride along the beach at Hana Bay   But I'm stuck in Waco, Texas   At the Paradise Motel   And now there's no one waiting for me in L.A.   'Cause      Nobody's home in California   All your friends have gone to Molokai   Ain't nobody home in California   Everybody's off to see Hawaii       Soon my travels will be over   And soon a plane will take me home   And just as soon I can make it over   I'll be leaving these words on my phone      Ain't nobody home in California?.      © 1978 Rambunctious Music (ASCAP)
