Terry Taylor - What A World, What A World lyrics

I could stay in California -- stay a little dim But there's a light bulb on in my head I might move out east to some college town Study big thick books -- turn my fortune around Roll L.A. river roll And take me to a better world Ooooh ____________ To where the streets are lined with gold Now I could drive some old car through the desert tonight Sleep on hotel sheets all soft and white I will stop at the Mystery Spot, see water run up hill I know I can make it, I'm convinced I will Roll L.A. river roll And take me to a better world Where the sun shines all day And the children laugh and play (What a world, what a world) I can see it all in my dreams (What a world, what a wonderful world) And I really wanna make that scene Where the people are nice, and the air is clean What a beautiful world it must be I believe I have found the river of life It flows like blood through my veins I hear a pounding like a heart beat I can hear the thunder bringing the diamond rain I could stay in California, but I'd die in these streets There's a pearly mansion here in my head I see a light like the sun where the children run If I could move these legs, I'd turn my fortunes around Roll L.A. river roll Roll over me To where the streets are lined with gold And God is on His throne
