California Living

Verse 1 The windows never stay shut very long The air keeps calling everybody outside Backroads wander into vineyards Then disappear beneath oak trees for miles A Saturday can take you anywhere From quiet coves to mountain skies No one’s in much of a hurry Once the sun begins to sink Pre-Chorus Every road keeps changing colors Every season finds its own way in Chorus California living Where the mountains meet the sea Where redwood shadows stretch for miles And vineyards catch the evening breeze California living Golden hills after the rain Wildflowers waiting for their moment Then disappearing just the same Verse 2 Farm stands honor the season Peaches, cherries, citrus on display Neighbors linger on front porches Long after daylight fades away The coastline writes a different story Every curve, another view Some places make you want to leave This one keeps inviting you Bridge It’s the scent of eucalyptus after a warm afternoon. The first cool breeze that finally arrives after a long summer day. The sound of sprinklers somewhere down the block. A winding road you never get tired of driving. The Pacific always waiting… Even when you’re nowhere near it. Final Chorus California living Never only one kind of beautiful Snow on distant peaks Salt in the ocean air Fields that stretch beyond the highway And skies that somehow always feel a little bigger California living You don’t have to chase the moment. It has a way of finding you. Every single day.
