Lyrics

Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
 Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
 In Alabama she would swing 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, rebel and a stunner
 On her merry way sayin' baby whatcha gonna?
 Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal forty-five
 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
 Shoulda seen her coming when it got a little brighter
 With a name like Dani California
 Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
 A little loaded, she was stealin' another breath
 I loved 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 died to prove?
 Too true to say goodbye to you
 Too true to say, say, say
 Push the fader, gifted animator
 One for the now and eleven for the later
 Never made it up to Minnesota
 North Dakota man was a-gunnin' for the quota
 Down in the badlands she was savin' 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
