California

I flew away to California
 Ticket away from Oakridge Brown
 I thought I'd change seat
 I'd changed my mind
 And I'd get straight before too long
 And I'd be happy
 ♪
 I met a hundred different people
 Still I was lonely and as unhappy as I could be
 Cause the very first person I met in California
 Was nobody else but me
 ♪
 I found a place in Santa Barbra
 I couldn't wait to see the town and so I bought a car
 I told myself if I had wheels to get around
 That I'd be happy
 ♪
 I went to all famous beaches
 Still I was lonely and unhappy as I could be
 Cause the very first person I met in California
 Was nobody else but me
 ♪
 I'm going back to Tuscaloosa
 Where I grew up and ran away
 I'll start my life again
 I realized it's not the town in which to stay
 That makes you happy
 ♪
 The only place to find contentment
 Is deep inside you, way down deep, and as for me
 Well, the very first person I'll meet in Tuscaloosa
 Is somebody who will be
 The very first person I met in California
 Is nobody else but me
 Nobody but me
 Nobody but me
