"To California" lyrics

"To California"

Well he told me
The highway called for him to hit it
So that's what he did
Now he regrets he ever did it now

To California
He said that's where he'd find his fortune
And where it's warmer
The weather's warmer and the girls are scorching hot

He quit his job down at the diner
And then he loaded up his SUV
Just like a modern 49er
Except for the Schlager and the PCP

To California
He said he'd make it there come hell
Or come high water
He isn't doing very well
He made it to Atlantic City
To try to double what he brought
Lost it to a voodoo girl named Kitty
Totaled the truck out in the parking lot

So he decided
He was determined not to turn back. No way
So guess what he did?
Well he snuck aboard an Amtrak Train

To California
He said that's where he'd find his fortune
And where it's warmer
The weather's warmer and the girls are scorching hot

To California
Just got a postcard in the mail
"Just to inform ya
I'm the LA County Jail. Right now."
