"Rainy Days In California" lyrics

Days fly by me like dragons, oil well fires, and car tire smoke
Helicopter searchlights through my window
These midnight mean streets ain't no joke
Listening to the siren's wail, counting sheep to no avail

Traffic jam from here to nowhere, the devil's claw marks point the way
There's not much shaking out on the fault line
Unless the big one comes today
If I go north straight up the 1, destination Oregon
No need to leave the porch light on, I'll be long gone

Rainy days in California come too far and few for me
Rainy days in California
These desert towns don't feed my soul
I need to hear the thunder roll

As in some dark and tangled nightmare
I've lost all sense of time and place
I'm sure you must have seen me somewhere
I'm no stranger to disgrace
10 bound east past Indio, hammer down New Mexico
Airline Highway here I come, gone and then some

Rainy days in California come too far and few between
Rainy days in California
Twenty years of endless drought
It's time to find my own way out

I'm headed off in search of rain
Back down south in the land of sugar cane
