Well I flew in on a plane yesterday
Nose pressed to the glass, I watched us come into the bay
And then I asked myself why I left this place
Seeking solace in a change but now it’s changed my face
And I know
They’ll say
There’s something to be said for trying out new things
But I know
I’ll say
Something I’ve been missing here along the way
Oh yeah
But there’s just something ’bout coming home to California
Yeah there’s something ’bout coming home
And it’s so hot outside that I could fry an egg
But I’m eating Taco Bell and gettin’ high instead
My eyes spread wide I smoke a cigarette
Watch the sun roll by with nothing in my head
And I know
They’ll say
Something to be said for curiosity
And I know
I’ll say
I’ll save my west coast dreaming for some other day
Oh yeah
Because there’s something ’bout coming home to California
Yeah there’s something ’bout coming home to California
I said there’s something ’bout coming home to California
Oh there’s something ’bout coming home
Yeah
I said, I said
There’s something in the way you move
Something in the Daily News
And there’s something in the air I breathe
Something in the things I see
And there’s something in these orange walls
The Northern California falls
There’s something in the clothes she wears
And something in the way she stares at you
Oh and I’m so far away from home and I need it
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Because there’s something ’bout coming home to California
Yeah there’s something ’bout coming home to California
Oh there’s something ’bout coming home to California
There’s something ’bout going home
