Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi Papa was a copper and her mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would sing a hammer Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world, what does your company take me for?
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, a rebel, and a sinner On her merry way, saying, "Baby, what you gonna?"
Looking down the barrel of a hot metal .45 Just another way to survive
California, rest in peace Simultaneous release
California, show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
She's a lover, baby, and a fighter
Should've seen her coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Danny, California
A day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little older, she was still in another breath
I love my baby to death
California, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California, show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew what others got to prove?
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true to say, say, say
Pushed the fader, gifted an emitter
One folder now and eleven folder later
Never made it up to Minnesota
An off-Dakota man was again in full Dakota
Down in the battle and she was saving the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast
California, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California, show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
California, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California, show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah
