Oh, I got to get to California right away
Oh, I′ve got to get to California right away
Just to see the evening sun, oh, setting in the west
Breaks my heart 'cause it reminds me of the true love that I left
In the sunset I can see, oh, my baby′s face just a-haunting me
Reminding me of the tenderness that heaven knows was in the 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 when this loneliness inside of me says
I got to get to California right away
Oh, I got to get to California
I wish that I was there by my baby's side
Oh, I wish I had listened to my heart and not my pride
She tried to tell me that I had no reason for jealousy
But I was blinded by my pride and I just couldn't see
Now I′ve got to hurry, now I′ve got a reason to worry
I got to be on the move, true love I'm gonna lose
I pray it′s not too late, oh, I might have to catch a freight
But I got to get to California right away
Oh, I've got to get to California right away
Oh, oh
I may have to hitchhike, baby
I may have to hop a freight, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Now I′ve got to hurry, now I've got a reason to worry
I got to be on the move, true love I′m gonna lose
What a fool a man can be when this loneliness inside of me says
I got to get to California right away
I got to get to California
Might have to hitchhike, baby
Oh, might have to hitch a ride
Oh, oh, now, now
