Ride to California Songtext
von Paper Tongues

40, 40 dollars to the man that wanna go
20, 20 to the sister with the ticket
At the grocery store
I wish someone would get mine
If you got an extra dollar
Can you lend it to a man who′s poor
I've been up but I ain′t down
I've been lost but now I'm found
I′ve been defeated for sure and now I got a chance
And the city better let me go

I can′t wait to get a ride to to California
'Cause it makes sense to go to California
If Hollywood is where it′s at, lets go to California
'Cause it makes to sense to go California
Can I give up (no) let′s just (go)
LA (whoa) got no money, sure
If you was me, see, you'd do the same thing you know
So leave your bags at your mama′s door


Going, going, going to the man in the back
Cut the line if you feel me
Let me hear you say it one more time
I've set my mind to break free
Now my body is getting loose
While I'm shaking like a dancing tree
I′ve been up but I ain′t down
I've been lost but now I′m found
I need deliverance for sure
If you got another seat on the bus
Will you let me go

I can't wait to get a ride to to California
′Cause it makes sense to go to California
If Hollywood is where it's at, lets go to California
′Cause it makes to sense to go California
Can I give up (no) let's just (go)
LA (whoa) got no money, sure
If you was me, see, you'd do the same thing you know
So leave your bags at your mama′s door

I really gotta catch that ride
I need to find a place in line
I′m picking up an LA vibe
I really wanna go this time

I really gotta catch that ride
I need to find a place in line
I'm picking up an LA vibe
I really wanna go this time

Whoa whoa ooh


I can′t wait to get a ride to to California
'Cause it makes sense to go to California
If Hollywood is where it′s at, lets go to California
'Cause it makes to sense to go California
Can I give up (no) let′s just (go)
LA (whoa) got no money sure
If you was me, see, you'd do the same thing you know
So leave your bags at your mama's door

Interstate, freeway, green light, go
You can even get a plane or a train if the traffic′s slow
I bet you won′t beat me
I've been waiting for a mighty long time
So you best believe
I′m beat up but I ain't down
I′ve been lost but now I'm found
I need a ticket for sure
If you got another seat on the plane
Will you let me go

(Hey) break free
(Hey) break free
(Hey) break free
(Hey) come, go with me
(Hey) break free
(Hey) break free
(Hey) break free
(Hey) come, go with me

Whoa ooh ooh

I can′t wait to get a ride to to California
'Cause it makes sense to go to California
If Hollywood is where it's at, lets go to California
′Cause it makes to sense to go California
Can I give up (no) let′s just (go)
LA (whoa) got no money sure
If you was me see you'd do the same thing you know
So leave your bags at your mama′s door
