Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff
And drank all my wine

Made up my mind to make a new start
Going to california
With an aching in my heart

Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes
And flowers in her hair

Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let them tell you
That they're all the same

The sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow
Could ever follow today

The mountains and the canyons
Started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun begin to awake

Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose
And it started to flow

I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high

To find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings
La la la

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman
Who's never, never, never been born

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams
Telling myself it's not
As hard, hard, hard as it seems
