Formed my roots back in Missouri
Grew up in a great big home
Don't know what the world wants from me
Sung my heart out
Every afternoon
Down in Missouri
I'm not going to California
Just to have my records burned
But I may prove to be
The right kind of mystery
Until that time
You will find me
Back in Missouri
Would you hear my echos in the canyon
Or am voiceless wasting all my time
Cause I don't wanna be disappointed in me
Grabbed my guitar and a one way trip
To California
When the crowded streets get lonely
And all you feel is pain
If the city is on fire
Let me be the rain
Yeah I'm going to California
And I'll have my records heard
One day I'll have a great big home
And life will be just what I need
In California
