Bill Mallonee - California lyrics

The family's last things have been cleared out ‘cept your memories and your luck & whatever's in your coat pocket or will fit into a pick-up truck this land was our's for 40 years but it ain't ours no more banker with a gold watch said: “I tried to warn ya'!” I'm off to look for God in California Now, I've heard there was work to be had picking fruit in the bright warm sun I aim to see if it's true or not and if it is, well I'm gonna get me one. I was taught hard work will take you far. I was taught fairness is a guiding star But that ever worked out in Oklahoma maybe it will in California. Bridge: Red dust hangin' in the air. Red dust in yer eyes and ears. Red dust filling up every seam hope there's no red dust in The San Joaquin I gotta preacher friend who don't preach no more but he sees way more than he did before had a vision and now he's at a loss saw the Spirit moving in every soul says a man can die before he gets old and Jesus, is still hangin' on that cross for ya' out there in golden California
