Lyrics
There's a wind in California
Say it blows right out of hell
If that wind should come upon you
Better wish the devil well
Cause' L.A. County ain't no place
To be alone, baby, baby, sweet baby,,
Baby won't you come on home
Santana winds are 'a blowin'
Blowin' out to the sea
Wish those winds
Could bring you back to me
Wind like the breath of the devil
Blowin' warm in winter-time
Memories that scrape like metal
'Cross my mind
Our love is gone
Been blown away by the breeze
The feels a' fire
You can't catch the devil
You can't please a liar
