Maybe it's a bit unlike you
To climb aboard a stranger's caravan
But if we slip on past those men
Who wave them guns to hold you under thumb
We'll make a good run as Californians
A good run to Californ
The sun's the same old angry flame to me
Just a touch more southern than you've seen
The wind will blow, days will go
Sing a song we used to know
When we reach 29 Palms
When we come as Californians
As Californ
The grain will wait until we reach the storm
It's coming fast you know it's coming strong
And all those nights lost in America
I swear I'll leave em when we run
When we run as Californians
When we run from Californ
