California woman, hangin' heavy on my mind Never found another like her, guess she was just one of a kind She never wrapped no strings around me, she could treat a man so fine I still see her golden hair and the California sunshine Mississippi rain fallin' on my head No California woman sleepin' in my bed Makes me wanna move on, leave all this behind I need my California woman and the California sunshine Comin' California beaches, knockin' on a beach house door They say that California woman, she don't live here anymore They say she left here with a stranger, leavin' nothing left behind She buried all my dreams here in the California sunshine Mississippi rain fallin' on my head No California woman sleepin' in my bed Makes me wanna move on, leave all this behind I need my California woman and the California sunshine
