On my way to sunny California, on my way to spend another sunny day.
You're so clean and just take your mind away.
I'll kick your mind away, I'll kick your mind away
Have you ever been south of Monterey?
But on Kaskar the coastline
And the chaparral flows to the sea
Neat waves of golden sunshine
And have you ever been north of Morro Bay?
The south coast plows the sea
And the people there are of the breed
That don't need electricity
I'm not aware
Water, water
Get yourself a mat
Who gets kids a mat?
Get yourself a mat
So you can dance by the sea
Since the hills are plain
Get yourself a mat
Water, water
Horizon nature
Just wake up the mountain's way
Have you ever been down Salinas Way?
Where Steinbeck found the valley
And he wrote about it the way it was
In his travelings with Charlie
And have you ever walked down through the sycamores
Where the farmhouse was?
Where the spring
And the pine trees used to be?
There the monarch's autumn journey ends
On a windswept cypress tree
Water, water
Get yourself a mat
Who gets kids a mat
Get yourself a mat
Who gets kids a mat
Who gets kids a mat
Water, water
The sun shines bright and down
And the paddies blake
But get yourself a mat
Who gets kids a mat
Who gets kids a mat

Who gets kids a mat
Have you ever been to a festival, the Big Sur congregation, where Country Joe will do his show and sing about liberty?
