Jim Brown - California Riots lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I pulled off the gravel, with my California dreams Leavin' everything I ever loved behind Well, I left Alabama, but it never once left me And it's still the only refuge in my mind [Chorus] 'Cause where you gonna be when half of California riots? Where you gonna run to when the lights go out? Well, I won't be hangin' out in California, I won't try it Buddy, I'll be up and headed south [Verse 2] All the women here look perfect, and it hardly ever rains And for some folks here I'm sure it's paradise I'll dabble with the fortune and rub elbows with the fame But I'll be damned if this is where I'm gonna die [Chorus] Hey, where you gonna be when half of California riots? Where you gonna run to when the lights go out? Well, I won't be hangin' out in California, I won't try it Buddy, I'll be up and headed south First ticket out I'm goin' down to L.A [Verse 3] I never thought I'd get to see the inside of a limousine Or a beauty shop on South Rodeo drive Or bein' s**ed into a world where things are seldom what they seem Makes you wonder how you'll make it out alive [Chorus] And where you gonna be when half of California riots? Where you gonna run to when the lights go out? Well, I won't be hangin' out in California, I won't try it Buddy, I'll be up and headed south [Outro] Oh, buddy, I'll be up and headed south
