Lately, I've been low
Things been moving slow
I could not tell you why
Maybe too much paradise
Something came a calling and I knew this time I had to go
Dreamers down the road
I wound up in a land of gold
I was headstrong with an open eye
And a wondrous alibi???
A (rest)
California, I don't even know you
(You're) Takin me away from home
Old Magnolia, I'll never get over you
Feeling's running straight to my bones
Someday I'll be coming home
Someday I'll be coming home
With a cast Iron Soul
It 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 what they know
E A E (2x)
I can see the water
I can taste the sea
Keep on moving farther
(From) where I need to be
California, I don't even know you
(You're) Takin me away from home
Old Magnolia, I'll never get over you
Feeling's running straight to my bones
Someday I'll be coming home
Someday I'll be coming home
With a cast Iron Soul
