Out on the coast of California
There grows an evergreen so high
That while the roots support the mountains
The leaves can drink the fog out of the sky
With time the roots they grow together
A future rises from our twinin' pasts
Deep enough that any storm we weather
Can only help us grow and make us last
Lives entwine together like the
Roots of the redwoods
A scarred and burly, twisted thing
That damn near can't burn down
Lives entwine together like the
Roots of the redwoods
Come on back in a thousand years
We'll still be standin' around
Out on the coast of California
There grows an evergreen so tall
It greets the daybreak coming o'er the mountains
And follows 'til Pacific evenings fall
Lives entwine together like the
Roots of the redwoods
A scarred and burly, twisted thing
That damn near can't burn down
Lives entwine together like the
Roots of the redwoods
Come on back in a thousand years
We'll still be standin' around
Out on the coast of California
Is where I join my lover fair
Forever every Spring we add on another ring
As ever we're together standing there
Ever we're together standing there
