| It's been awhile since you've seen that sunshine | |
| She asked me why and I said trouble on my mind | |
| That ain't right, that ain't right | |
| She said there's trouble everywhere, | |
| There's trouble all the time | |
| You're always looking for something you'll never find | |
| That ain't right, that ain't right | |
| But I been up and down the 101, the 5, the 99 | |
| At least I know that it ain't there | |
| And that's why I left it behind | |
| That ain't right, that ain't right | |
| California's in my heart | |
| Though currently it's torn apart | |
| But I'll make it back there someday | |
| If I have my way | |
| She said how could you leave that pacific ocean true | |
| Ain't no one over there who knows you like I do | |
| That ain't right, that ain't right | |
| But that's just it, we know it too well | |
| You don't see the view | |
| When you know it too well | |
| Sometimes you forget it's blue | |
| That ain't right, that ain't right | |
| Now I miss California almost as much as I miss you | |
| But why would I live somewhere | |
| Where the bars close at 2? | |
| That ain't right, that ain't right | |
| California's in my heart | |
| Though currently it's torn apart | |
| And if you've ever seen it | |
| Then you know what I mean | |
| California's in my mind | |
| Not just now, but all the time | |
| But I'll make it back there someday | |
| If I have my way | |
| I miss Sac and I miss the bay (Ain't that right) | |
| I miss Fresno, and I miss LA (Ain't that right) | |
| And I miss the Yuba river in the summertime | |
| (Ain't that right) | |
| And you know I miss those girls so fine | |
| (Ain't that right) | |
| But I hope to make it back someday (Ain't that right) | |
| If I have my way (Ain't that) | |
| And if you've ever seen it |
