California lyrics

On my way to sunny California



On my way to spend another sunny day







Water, water get yourself in the cool, clear, water



The sun shines brightly down on Penny's place



The sun shines brightly down on the bay



The air's so clean it'll just take your mind away



Take your mind away



Take your mind away







Have you ever been south of Monterey



Barrancas carve the coast line and the chaparral flows to the sea



'Neath waves of golden sunshine



And have you ever been north of Morro Bay



The south coast plows the sea



And the people there are of the breed



They don't need electricity



Water, water, cool cascades of clear, clear water



The sun dance final scene sets the hills ablaze.



Horizon edges quick up the mountain's way.







Have you ever been down Salinas way?



Where Steinbeck found the valley



And he wrote about it the way it was in his travelin's with Charley



And have you ever walked down through the sycamores



Where the farmhouse used to be



There the monarch's autumn journey ends



On a windswept cyprus tree







Water getwater get yourself in that



Get yourself in that get yourself in that cool, clear, water



The sun shines brightly down on Penny's place



Get yourself in that water



The air's so clean that it just takes your mind away



Take your mind away



Take your mind away







Have you ever been to a festival, the Big Sur congregation?



Where Country Joe will do his show



And he'd sing about liberty



And the people there in the open air, one big family.



Yeah the people there love to sing and share



Their new found liberty
