Going To California Lyrics - Recover, Vol. 1 - Amy Lee

Spent my days with a woman unkind 

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine 

Made up my mind to make a new start 

Going to California with an aching in my heart 

Someone told me there's a girl out there 

With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair 

Ah ah ah 

Took my chances on a big jet plane 

Never let them tell you that they're all the same 

The sea was red and the sky was grey 

Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today 

The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake 

As the children of the sun began to awake 

Seems that the wrath of the Gods 

Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow 

I think I might be sinking 

Throw me a line if I reach it in time 

I'll meet you up there where the path 

Runs straight and high 

To find a queen without a king 

Says she plays guitar and cries and she sings 

Side a white mare in the footsteps of dawn 

Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born 

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams 

Tryin' telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems
