California Blues Lyrics - Dickey Betts

Sittin' up here in a big house 

LA goes on far as I can see 

got an old time feelin' 

somewhere down the line is calling me 

been going' through the pages of my mind 

wonder what I think I'm gonna find 

it don't matter anyway 

tomorrow I'll be leavin' you, LA. 

California Blues, I know you well 

what the hell, you're nothin' new to me 

California Blues, you can never tell 

could be I loved her more than she could see 

Now, I walked in here grinnin' 

I ain't winnin' but I'm leavin' like I came 

I gambled with the love she gave 

and like a fool I did not know the game 

but the closest thing to winning must be losin' 

and now and then it gets so damned confusin' 

but it don't matter anyway 

tomorrow I'll be leavin' you, LA 

California Blues, I know you well 

what the hell, you're nothin' new to me 

California Blues, you can never tell 

could be I loved her more than she could see 

could be I wasn't what she wanted me to be
