"Don't Go" they said
Just wait here instead
There ain't nothin' out there you need to find
So why can't you see
That it's all you'll ever need
Just the safety and the comfort of your own tribe
But if I hadn't gone to California
Girl I wouldn't know ya
Underneath that redwood we fell in love
I didn't know what life could be
Before Yosemite
And the power of the trees along the coast
But we can take a chance
If we don't look back
We can live a dream today
Whether mountains call
Or the forests in the fall
Let the longin' in your heart be your guide
'Cause we ain't got time
Just to wait 'round and die
That old wind is telling' me it's time to fly
'Cause if I hadn't gone to California
Girl I wouldn't know ya
Underneath that redwood we fell in love
I didn't know what life could be
Before Yosemite
And the power of the trees along the coast
But we can take a chance
If we don't look back
We can live a dream today
But if I hadn't gone to California
Girl I wouldn't know ya
Underneath that redwood we fell in love
I didn't know what life could be
Before Yosemite
And the power of the trees along the coast
But we can take a chance
If we don't look back
We can live a dream today
