Lyrics
Born on the outskirts of town
dirty as the ground
Poor as anyone around
I joined a band after school
played cover songs acted cool
But it?s time I find something new
California Calls
I will miss you all
here I come L.A.
But I?ll be back someday
Saved what I could hitched a ride
with my guitar by my side
on that day my mother cried
California Calls
I will miss you all
here I come L.A.
But I?ll be back someday
Call me if you come down my way
I?ll be singing my soul away
Save in the arms of the sun
land of the stars and the guns
my new life has begun
Call me if you come down my way
I?ll be singing my soul away
oh in California 4X
California Calls 4X
