L.A. traffic is bad this time of year
But there's a friend of yours in California
Sure wishes you were here
And as you lay your head on your pillow tonight just remember

There's a friend of yours in California sure misses you
You've got a friend in California that misses you
You've got a friend in California that sure misses you
Fort Worth can get cold this time of year

But this southern Californian sun is warm
You should be here
And as you lay your head on your pillow tonight just remember
There's a friend of yours in California sure misses you

You've got a friend in California that misses you
You've got a friend in California that sure misses you
You've got a friend in California that misses you
You've got a friend in California that sure misses you

Merle Haggard

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. more »
