I got time on my hands, I got ticket to a foreign shore
My brother was saying it's like nothing you've seen before
Cities move on real fast
Moments come at last
Soon Monday, I fly away
I've always wanted to try make it to America
So much happened in there, seen it at the cinema
Hey, California looks fine
The sun's out most of the time
The power's on, it's just begun
I do love you and I won't be gone for long
I'm a river to the ocean and I'd like to find my way
I shall miss you each and every day
Time will pass quickly and I'll be back to stay
So I hired a band, started in LA
Met a pretty young girl, was the month of May
She showed me all of the sights
Down to Hollywood nights
Early next morn she was gone
Well the mystery was clear to me
I wasn't alone and I felt myself set free
Yes, I got down onto my knees
Holy Father please
Forgive me now like never before
I do love you and I won't be gone for long
From the river to the ocean I'd like to find my way
I shall miss you each and every day
Time will pass quickly and I'll be back to stay
Back to stay
I do love you and I won't be gone for long
From the river to the ocean I like to find my way
I shall miss you each and every day
Time will pass quickly and I'll be back to stay
Back to stay
Back to stay
