[Verse 1]

Spent my days 

with a woman u

nkind
              
Smoked my stuf

              
f and drank al

      
l my wine

Made up my min

d to make a ne

w start
              
Going to Calif

              
ornia with an 

       
aching in my h

eart

Someone told m

e there's a gi

rl out there
              
With love in h

              
er eyes and fl

        
owers in her h

  
air

[Verse 2]

Took my chance

s on a big jet

 plane
              
Never let 'em 

              
tell you that 

             
they're all th

    
e same
        
Oh, the sea wa

s red and the 

sky was grey
              
Wondered how t

              
omorrow could 

            
ever follow to

day

The mountains 

and the canyon

s start to tre

mble and shake
              
As the childre

              
n of the sun b

        
egin to awake

[Bridge]
            
Seems that the

         
 wrath of the 


Gods
              
Got a punch on

         
 the nose and 

           
it started to 

flow;
         
I think I migh

  
t be sinking

                   

            
Throw me a lin

         
e if I reach i

     
t in time
         
I'll meet you 

         
up there where

 the path

Runs straight 

and high

[Verse 3]
   
To find a quee

n without a ki

ng;
              
They say she p

              
lays guitar an

             
d cries and si

       
ngs... la la l

a

Ride a white m

are in the foo

tsteps of dawn
              
Tryin' to find

              
 a woman who's

              
 never, never,

   
 never been bo

rn

Standing on a 

hill in my mou

ntain of dream

s
              
Telling myself

              
 it's not as h

            
ard, hard, har

d as it seems
