I left busted and disgusted 
My thoughts were surely not trusted
I was bombed out and wiped out
But not down and out

I was robbed and without a job
But I didn't turn to a snob
I was pushed, and shoved and almost knifed 
All I want was my life 

I had threats against my life 
By hoodlums with much strife
I've seen the inside of jails 
There were only thugs 

I know the 3 of Clubs bar 
The place where the BJM star 
I've played the Sunset Strip  
Go there for a special trip 
 
California, I never knew you 
Until I got to you 
California, I never knew you 
Until I got to you

I've trekked to Santa Ana's Rickenbacker 
To practice in a tent with McGuinn 
I've seen the 24-hour church 
Go there if you must 

I left a school and was a fool
Cause I didn't want to muck about
The guys there were like robots
Not my best place 
 
I put money down on apartments 
They took my deposit and never gave it back 
I never even moved in 
Oh well, that's alright 

California, I never knew you
Until I got to you
California, I never knew you 
Until I got to you

I'm not a bad guy
Just trying to follow God's will
Nobody likes that 
But I don't really care 

I've had panic attacks on Highway 101 
It was not so fun in the sun
I think that God was there 
I think that God was there
