CALIFORNIA GOLD by Jeffrey Joslin
VERSETennessee didn’t do it for meSo I came out to CaliforniaCouldn’t get a dollar if I stole it out your pocketMy music didn’t do nothin for yaI went looking to my left, looking to my rightWorking all day and all damn nightJust to find what I was looking for
CHORUSI was looking for California goldLord it’s a long and lonely roadHow could I have known The unfortunate soulsThat died a thousand times beforeLooking for California gold
VERSE 2The LA sun nearly burned my eyesShining all day longStanding on the street down in Venice BeachTrying to love those people and sing my songThe preacher and the devil tried to put me awayI guess they didn’t like what I had to saySo I packed my guitar and went on my wayI went chasing that shine towards a better day
VERSE 3I searched high, I searched lowI went everywhere a man could goEverything short of beating down doorsAnd ripping a hole in the hardwood floorsThey told me out west is where I’d find itLord have mercy had a hell of a timePaddling against all the changing tidesSearching far searching wide, nearly lost my mind for that…
FINAL CHORUSI was looking for California goldLord it’s a long and lonely roadHow could I resist an offer to digIn places that I never dug beforeLooking for California gold
