California (Cast Iron Soul)

Lately
I've been low
Thing's been moving slow
I could not tell you why
Maybe too much paradise
Something came calling
And I knew this time I had to go
Three months down the road
I wound up in a land of gold
I was head strong with an open eye
And a wanderer's alibi
Heading towards the canyon
I abandon everything I own
California
I don't even know you
Taken me away from home
Old magnolia
I'll never get over you
The feeling's running straight to my bones
Someday I'll be coming home
Yeah someday I'll be coming home
With a cast iron soul
Was a winding mountain road
Where the sun shines and the air is cold
Another tired town
Where them old folks hang around
They look me in the eye
And try to pass me down
On what they know
California
I don't even know you
Taken me away from home
Old magnolia
I'll never get over you
The feeling's running straight to my bones
Someday I'll be coming home
Yeah someday I'll be coming home
With a cast iron soul
I
I can see the water
I
I can taste the sea
I keep on moving farther
From where I need to be
I can see the water
I can taste the sea
I keep on moving farther
Where I need to be
California
I don't even know you
You've taken me away from home
Old magnolia
I'll never get over you
The feeling's running straight to my bones
Someday I'll be coming home
Yeah someday I'll be coming home
With a cast iron soul
