California

We was headed way out west
To get ourselves some of the best
Greenery that any man could know
Would rendezvous in San Pedro
Load up the wagon where we'd go
To make a killing on the eastern coast

Well the first stop was in New Orleans
Where Susannah had her usual schemes
Just to play a man or two for some extra cash
But she met herself the perfect match
A schemin gamblin man from Asheville

Now he was what you'd call distraction
And since I am a girl of action
I said that were leaving town today
Susannah she didn't like that much
She said "you quit bein' such a cu*t,
now cant you see It's love you bitch"
I said "ok..."

Oh California
Oh, I'ma, I'm comin' for ya
Oh just just as soon as I get on out
I get on out of New Orleans

So I said you stay and get your kicks
I got my mission that is it
I'll meet you in Salinas if you wish
But I'm headed now to Austin town
New Orlean's kinda got me down
I'll see ya in California in a week

Oh California
Well I'ma, I'm comin' for ya
Just just as soon as I get on down
Go see about a man in Austin town

Well Texas it's a sprawlin' state
And the station wagon couldn't pull the weight
So I was stranded outside San Antone
But had to make my way to Santa Fe
To meet up with Miss Donna May
Who'd made that deal with Juan back in San Pedro

So I thought I'll ditch this waste of space
Just catch a bus out of this place
'Cause I got me this deadline and it's in three days
But when I opened up the floorboard stash
Where all the cash I'd brung was at
There wasn't but a dime bag smilin' back

Oh California
I swear I'm I'm comin' for ya
Oh just, just as soon as I get on out
I get on out of San Antone

Well what the hell's a girl to do
With no car or money too
I'm hitchin' now a ride back to New Orleans
I'm gonna track that daed Susannah down
'Cause u know it can't be no one else
Well played back there susannah, god da
Touche

Oh california
I'm haulin my ass for ya
Oh just, just as soon as I get on back
Back to new orleans
