Why´s everyone still singing about California?
Haven´t we heard enough about the Golden State?
I guess if you like sandy beaches and blue ocean water
There´s something about it, to which I cannot relate
I need to see the leaves change and the snowflakes falling
I need to hear the call, the wind whistling through the winter pines

Why´s everyone still singing about California?
Haven´t we heard enough about the Golden State?
And people still follow them dreams to sweet California
And from time to time I pass on by, but I will never stay

Sure there are beautiful people, in the city of lost angels
They´re living like they´re kings and queens, from some royal age
But fortune and fame won´t save you, when California
Is wiped out by the ring of fire or a great earthquake

Why´s everyone still singing about California?
Haven´t we heard enough about the Golden State?
And people still follow them dreams to sweet California
And from time to time I pass on by, but I will never stay
No, I will never stay

Never stay [x2]
