Cinder Jean: Music & Lyrics

California

(Cinder Jean)
April 13, 2005
Well I can't help but wonder how I ended up out here.
These days I can't seem to think very clear.
Cars on the road are headed North, South, East and West.
I don't know which way I'm going just yet.
I'm chasing my tail like I'm chasing this dream.
Around and around I'm still going it seems.

Through the flat lands of Texas, Through New Mexico,
Through the heat of Arizona,
to California I'm going.
Back to the land that I once knew,
Waltzing my way back home to you. Waltzing my way,
California I'm coming home.

Well I wonder just when I will ever see the light?
Cause these days I can't seem to get it quite right,
Though I'm still kickin' and scratchin'
and putting up a pretty darn good fight.
Oh I'm chasing my tail like I'm chasing this dream,
Around and around I'm still going it seems.

Through the flat land of Texas, Through New Mexico,
Through the heat of Arizona,
to California I'm going.
Back to the land that I once new, Waltzing my way back home to you, waltzing my way...

Back to the land of the Golden Sun where the ocean waves roll in one by one.
Back to the land that I once knew, Waltzing my way back home to you, Oh I'm waltzing my way,
Oh I'm waltzing my way
back home to you.

Well I can't help but feel I'm just a little out of place.
All alone in some hotel in the Lone Star State.
All of the friends that I've once known, We've all grown up now
and left our homes.
I'm still chasing my tail like I'm chasing this dream,
Around and around I'm still going it
seems.

Through the flat land of Texas, Through New Mexico,
Through the heat of Arizona,
To California I'm going.
Back to the land that I once knew, Waltzing my way back home to you.

Oh I'm waltzing my way,
Oh I'm waltzing my way
back home to you,
Dancing my way back home to you,
Oh I've finally found my way
back home to you.
California, California
I'm finally home.
