A beautiful girl swings on her front porch
Dreams of a place she's never been before
Mississippi Delta blues
Run deep as the river is wide
She's so tired of living here
She wants that California high
Where the sun always shinesGod smiles on some and laughs at the rest
It all depends on just who you ask
Snake oil salesmen selling dreams
That no one can afford to bye
California here they come
They read it on bill board sign
Where the sun always shinesWhere the sun always shines
It's just a place in your mind
Take a good look around you
Happiness is knocking on the door
Where the sun always shines
Is it so hard to find?
When somebody loves you
Just open up your heart and them in
Where the sun always shines
The sun don't always shine in California
It's not where you lay your hat but leave your heart
The sun don't always shine in California
It's not where you lay your hat but leave your heart
