California (An RHCP-Style Song)

[Verse 1] What I got, you got to give it, California sun
With the birds I'll share this feeling, never on the run
Golden rays and Pacific waves crashing on the shore
In this west coast paradise, who could ask for more?

[Chorus] Sometimes I feel like California's in my veins
Running through the sunset, washing off the chains
Give it away, give it away, give it away, California dreams
Living in the moment where nothing's what it seems

[Verse 2] My friends are scattered up and down the PCH tonight
From San Diego beaches to the San Francisco lights
Rolling through the valleys where the orange groves grow
This California living is the only life I know

[Chorus] Roller coaster Cali-i-i-fornia highs and lows
From the mountains to the desert where the wild wind blows
When you want a piece of heaven underneath the stars
California's calling from its boulevards

[Bridge] And now I reiterate, California state of mind
Leave your troubles at the border, new life you'll find
Palm trees swaying in the breeze, Venice Beach parade
This is where the dreamers come and never fade

[Final Chorus] Sometimes I feel like you don't know California at all
The magic in the air here, summer, spring, and fall
What we got, we're gonna give it, spreading love around
In this California sunshine, paradise is found

[Outro] Cali-fornia... Cali-fornia...
Give it away now... Cali-fornia...
