A couple of months ago I decided to jet To a galaxy far far away that I didn't know yet Take a trip flip the script Get away from all the bullshit My son was grown my dog had a bone For a long time my soul had been M.I.A All I knew was there was only one place to go So I packed my bags and flew to Califor-ni-a They say it's the land of milk and honey The land of opportunity Not to mention it's next to the sea And later I learned It's a land for seekers It's a land for seekers And California You will be missed When I got to C.A. I didn't know what to expect For the first couple weeks I just got wrecked But I had family and friends that I needed to see So I sent up a smoke signal with some green And wouldn't you know one by one I found my fam Everyone was cool to hang, hot damn There was Nathan and Jen, J and B Cousin Ginna, cousin Tim, brother Derek, Vicky Made my way from downtown San Diego to Ocean Beach Now I got a little tip for ya You'll get your la jollies at a place pronounced la-hoya And the coast is two-letter acronyms all ending in B IB and OB and MB and PB and VB And California You will be missed From there I headed up to the mind f*ck that is L.A Hooked up with my friend Billy He was generous and kind made me laugh until I cried Helped me out in more ways than I can count because Los Angeles almost killed me at first But eventually I figured it out That's what it's all about It's all a big test to see if you're going to pout So I kept my head up and thank goodness for the help Without Bill, without Roxanne, without Mark, without Cass Without Gabe, without Danika and Marie-Eve I never would have made it, those angels would have eaten me alive And California You will be missed Then I was on to San Francisco to where my brother roamed And after 15 years apart he made me feel right at home It was expensive there but like so many I fell in love from the start I remember my mother saying it's where she left her heart I think Tony sang that part? And then back to L.A. where I found a place in the hills Recorded some songs and that was such a thrill There was this country store where over coffee I wrote down this rag I spied a cute girl and her dog But before I could get up the courage Another guy sat down to chat Now as far as this sabbatical I am nearing the end I've run through most of my money, not even sure if I can pay rent But before I go I've got a little more time To see a few more places, hear a few more rhymes For 18 years I've been planning this excursion Because 19 years ago I made a little person The place was NYC, the Upper West Side Where I lived with my girl, we ate Chinese, and drank free wine Sometimes inside I feel sad and overwhelmed That I haven't achieved my dreams yet But through this place and these beautiful people I've been reminded That my family and my friends and my kid Are the best things that I ever did So to Chris, and Sarah, and Nick and Sarah, and Tim and Frank, and Maud To Ben and Alex, and Ahmed, to Danika, Marie-Eve, and Todd To Holly and Paul, Isabella, Carol, Julie, Morgan and Elena To my cousins, to my brother, and any I might have forgot To Jason and Billy, to the whole fuckin' lot I could not have done it without you I could not have done it without you I truly love you all a whole whole lot California California California You will be missed
