Walking all alone
down an old dried up creek bed
Gotta clear my head
Picking up the pebbles
as I kick my feet into the clay
Live one more day I pulled my jackknife
And I carved our initials
In a tree branch that hung so low
I should have never let you go
Out in the backyard
In my old homemade rope swing
The birds still sing
I look at the clouds and the big blue skies
I pull high, wish I could fly
You've played with my mind
till I don't know if I'm in love
or just insane
Somehow it all seems the same
You walk in the California sunshine
And I'm in this Tennessee hill
Tryin' to get it back together
But I got to wonder if I will
California lady,
you possess me in a way I can't control
You got my soul
California sunshine
and a California lady's magic spell
Or is it hell?
It's played on my mind
Till I don't know if I'm in love
Or just insane
Somehow it all seems the same
You walk in the California sunshine,
and I'm in East Tennessee hill
Tryin' to get it back together,
but I got to wonder if I will
California lady, you possess me
in a way I can't control
You got my soul
