I've never been to Califor N I A
But lately it seems like everybody
Wants to make it there someday
Cool as hell, honey I'm happy as the sunny day
Coz to me it's always different
Ands it's just a state of mind
No more dreams in grey
I've come ahead the pain
No more waiting for the times to change
Coz I'm right here, living in the now
I want the happy days and the safe and sound
Throw my head back laughing thinking about
How California's just a state of mind
California's just a state of mind
I'm thankful for all the people who have got me here
Right in this time where it feels so good
And nothing could compare
My mama told me one day
She'd see me go round the world
Now that it's real, I don't regret walking down this road
No more dreams in grey
I've come ahead the pain
No more waiting for the times to change
Rose colored glasses on
Everyday's a brand new song
No more Mercury in retrograde
Coz I'm right here living in the now
I want the happy days and the safe and sound
Throw my head back laughing thinking about
How California's just a state of mind
Coz I'm right here living in the now
My youths fading away, My Heart's all in doubt
Don't wanna be the one waiting around
Coz California's just a state of mind
