From the recordings Pack It Up and Everybody's Going to California
Lyrics
They loaded up her car
On the carrier truck
Because the drive’s too far
And she don’t wanna get stuck
In some 40-watt town
She wants to chase the sun
She’s gonna write her own code
She’s not the only one
‘Cause it’s like everybody’s going to California
To San Francisco or Santa Barbara
I heard it’s paradise if you can afford it
There’s lost and found fortunes in California
She scored a 3.9
Landed a high-tech gig
The office view is sublime
Pacific’s not too big
To hold her morning swim
Or catch the setting sun
She’s gonna learn to surf
She’s not the only one
Cause it’s like everybody’s going to California
To San Francisco or Santa Barbara
It feels like paradise if she can afford it
Her lost and found fortune’s in California
And when the car rolls off the truck
She puts her parents on speaker phone
Hugs the curves of the 192
She’s on her own but she’s not alone
‘Cause everybody’s going…
Everybody’s going to California
Santa Cruz, Santa Monica
It’s paradise if you can afford it
Lost and found fortunes
Lost and found fortunes
There’s lost and found fortunes in California
