California, three hours away
Thinking of you just makes my day
All I know is I'm all alone
California, I'm coming home
Indiana was cloudy and grey
Illinois was about the same way
Homesick hours I spent lying 'round
DC-9, please take off the ground
[Bridge]
Every night I dreamed that I would lose the right way back
But then a California girl would show me where it's at
LA Airport is coming in sight
There's my beach and the hills off to the right
Hollywood, get out your floodlights
California, I have arrived
