"I Didn't Sing (In The New York Subway)"
(originally by Dennis Lambert)
If you dig the sun and you dig the fun of a California day
I'll take my hat off to you
If a big backyard and a credit card make everything okay
Well I say Hallelujah
I'm gettin' lonelier by the minute
This kinda life's got nothin' in it for a city boy
Lookin' for a piece of home
I didn't sing in the New York subway
I didn't pay all my New York dues
Just to be here on a foggy mountain
Call it California
Call it California
Call it California blues
There's a place to go, you can see the snow, only fifty miles away
And that's supposed to get you
But you've got no friends, where the sidewalk ends, 'cause you might look in their eyes
And they ain't gonna let you
I haven't seen one sign of a season
To me that's more than enough of a reason for a city boy
To write another letter home
I didn't sing in the New York subway
I didn't pay all my New York dues
Just to be here on a foggy mountain
Call it California
Call it California
Call it California blues
Uh!
I didn't sing in the New York subway
I didn't pay all my New York dues
Just to be here on a foggy mountain
Call it California blues
I didn't sing in the New York subway (I didn't sing in the New York subway)
I didn't pay all my New York dues (I didn't pay my dues)
Just to be here on a foggy mountain (Just to be here on this mountain)
Call it California
Call it California
Call it California blues
I didn't sing in the New York subway (I didn't sing in the New York subway)
I didn't pay all my New York dues (I didn't pay my dues)
Just to be here on a foggy mountain
Call it California blues
I didn't sing...

I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
