Ryan Hewitt - Dani California lyrics

[Produced by Rick Rubin] Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi Poppa was a copper and her momma was a hippie In Alabama she was swinging hammer Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama She never knew that there was anything more than poor What in the world, what does your company take me for? Black bandana, sweet Louisiana Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana She's a runner, rebel and a stunner On her merry way saying baby what you gonna Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45 Just another way to survive California rest in peace Simultaneous release California show your teeth She's my priestess, I'm your priest Yeah, yeah She's a lover, baby and a fighter Should've seen her coming when it got a little brighter With a name like Dani California Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya A little loaded she was stealing another breath I love my baby to d**h California rest in peace Simultaneous release California show your teeth She's my priestess, I'm your priest Yeah, yeah Who knew the other side of you? Who knew what others died to prove? Too true to say goodbye to you Too true, too sad sad sad Push the fader, gifted animator One for the now and eleven for the later Never made it up to Minnesota North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota Down in the Badlands she was saving the best for last It only hurts when I laugh Gone too fast California rest in peace Simultaneous release California show your teeth She's my priestess, I'm your priest Yeah, yeah California rest in peace Simultaneous release California show your teeth She's my priestess, I'm your priest Yeah, yeah
