I Got to Get to California

[Intro] I got to get to California right away I got to get to California right away [Verse 1] Just to see the evening sun setting in the west Breaks my heart, reminds me of the true love that I left In the sunset I can see my baby's face just haunting me Reminding me of the tenderness that heaven knows was in her kiss I had a love that was mine mine mine mine alone But I played the fool and Lord I left my happy home What a fool a man can be, but this loneliness inside of me says [Chorus] I got to get to California right away I got to get to California [Verse 2] I wish I was there by my baby's side Lord I wish I had listened to my heart and not my pride She tried to tell me that I had no reason to tell her she was[?] I was blinded by my pride and I just couldn't see Now I've got to hurry, I've got a reason to worry I've got to be on the move, true love I'm going to lose I pray it's not too late, oh I might have to catch a freight [Chorus] I got to get to California right away I got to get to California right away [Verse 3] Oh may have to hitchhike baby Might have to hop a freight Yea yeah now I've got to hurry Now I've got a reason to worry I've got to be on the move Or true love I'm going to lose What a fool a man can be But this loneliness inside of me says [Chorus] I got to get to California right away I got to get to California [Outro] Might have to hitchhike, baby Might have to hitch a ride Oh now now I got to get to California
