Driftone - California Lyrics

I'm coming home, California
I've been away for far too long
I never really meant to leave you
But it's last call, and then I'm gone

I left my heart in California
A six hour drive away it lays
At the docks beneath Redondo
And at the bar in East LA
I left my love in Pomona
To see what Hermosa had for me
That journey took me down to Long Beach
It was there, that I found, that I never wanna be
More than a mornings walk away from the sea, so I'm

I'm coming home, California
I've been away for far too long
I never really meant to leave you
It's last call, and then I'm gone

I've packed my bags, I'm out the door
I couldn't take it anymore
The only thing I know is I'm going back home
Will I go to Oceanside, and surf again, feel the rising tide
Maybe go to Mission Beach, where I can spend the day outside
And I've always heard about the stars in Santa Barbara
And the nights in Santa Cruz
And I've never got the chance to see the docks in San Francisco
Just sitting at the dock of the bay

I'm coming home, California
I've been away for far too long
I never really meant to leave you
It's last call, and then I'm gone

Now here I stand, at the end of my path
Finally I'm home
I'm complete, I'm content, with my toes buried in sand
I'm right where I belong
Where I can wake up early just to smoke
While greeting the sun through my bedroom window, where nothing here is wrong
I'll sit in the Pasadena sun, guitar in hand, where I began
And play this reggae song
And it goes like

I'm finally home, California
I've been away for far too long
I swear I'm never going to leave you
I'm finally right where I belong

I'm finally home, California
I've been away for far too long
I swear I'm never going to leave you
I'm finally right where I belong
