Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie In Alabama she would swing a hammer Price you gotta pay when you pick the panorama She never knew that there was anything more than poor What in the world? What does your confidant take me for?
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana She's a runner, rebel and a stunner Hunt em everywhere sayin baby whatcha gonna Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal forty five Just another way to survive
Chorus - California rest in peace Simultaneous release California show your teeth She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah
She's a lover baby and a fighter Shoulda seen her coming when it got a little brighter With a name like Dani California Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya A little lotus, she was stealin' another breath I love my baby to death
Chorus
Who knew the other side of you? Who knew that all this time to prove? Too true to say good bye to you Too true too sad sad sad...
First to fade her gifted animator One for the now and eleven for the later Never made it up to Minnesota North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota
Down in the badlands she was savin' the best for last It only hurts when I laugh Gone too fast..
