California on My Mind Lyrics

Well I got California on my mind
I'm leaving this old town behind
I'm tired of sitting and I'm tired of pining
I'm going back where the sun is shining
I got California on my mind
Well I got stuck in this dingy city
But I'm not gonna stay
I'm tired of these red brick buildings
And I'm gonna leave today
It's been one cold and dreadful winter
And I'm going back to the grapevine center
Pack up my things and be on my way

Well I got a gal in Redwood city
That I'd sure like to see
And I'd bet my bottom dollar
She's still sweet on me

Well I'm a homesick bat couldn't be no sicker
I'm proud to say that I'm a prune picker
This town and me just don't agree
