Keb' Mo' - House in California lyrics

We were sick and tired of Buffalo Tired of freezin' and shovelin' snow So we packed it up and moved out to the coast To find us a house in California Somethin' at the beach or Hollywood Three or four bedrooms sound real good Don't have to have a pool or a veranda Just a simple little house in California The banker said, "son, what do you do?" I play guitar down at the rendevous He said, "boy, you need to be a big time actor or a corporate lawyer If you want to buy a house in California" 'Cause it don't snow and it don't rain and every day looks the same But before you pack your things let me warn ya It's the land of milk and honey but you better have good money If you're lookin' for a house in California Well I got three jobs, my wife's got two The kid's flippin' burgers at the local drive-through We're all doin' everything' we can We're savin' for a house in California Then one day things started shakin' Sky went dark and the earth was quakin' Then over night it became alarmin' How the prices dropped on a house in California Well it needs a roof and it needs a plumber Yeah yeah, its' a real fixer-upper Friends back east said somebody shoulda warned ya But I finally got my house in California And it don't snow and it don't rain, every day looks the same And before you pack your things let me warn ya It's the land of milk and honey but you better have good money If you're lookin' for a house in California If you're lookin' for a house in California Well I finally got my house in California Swimmin' pool... movie star...
