Getting old in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and a mama was a hippie
In Alabama, she was wearing a hammer
Pricey got a pair when you flicked the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than gold
What in the world does your confidence trade me for
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbing on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel, and a stunner
On the meadow there saying, "Baby, what you gonna do?"
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot man with 40 wires
Just another way to survive
California, rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California, chew your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah
She's a lover, baby, and a fighter
Shoulda seen her come when it got a little brighter
With a name like Diana California
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
Her little lotus, she was stealing my nervous
I love my baby to death
Headed for your residencies, Simultaneous greetings
Headed for your surety, Choose my priestess, I'm your priestess
Down in the badlands, you decided my best for last
It only hurts when I'm last
Don't you fear
California, rest in peace
Time will take a new lease
California, shoot your team
Shoot 'em, please, then stomp your feet
Yeah, yeah
California, let's give 'em peace
Time will take me, yes, please
California, shoot your team
And I'ma be standing side of your face, yeah, yeah
