"Just Like California" lyrics

"Just Like California"

Just like California
Was not even there
Since it's gone I'm so withdrawn
I ain't got no one nowhere

Right beside the ocean
My darlin' Clementine
Well, the water got high and she never got dry and
She was a water sign

Time is on my bad side
Half the way there just wouldn't be fair
So I'm goin' all the way tonight
Oh, half the way there just wouldn't be fair
So I'm goin' all the way tonight

Just like California
To make a fool of me
Steal the sideshow, burn the disco
Slide into the sea

I'm a thinking person
And I think that it's wrong
To keep on saying true love's waiting
When true love is long gone

Time is on my bad side
Half the way there just wouldn't be fair
So I'm goin' all the way tonight
Oh, half the way there just wouldn't be fair
So I'm goin' all the way tonight
Oh, half the way there just wouldn't be fair
So I'm goin' all the way tonight
