California Heaven

He's riding fast under a deep blue sky No life as free as the life we see Every day, he rides away Like an outlaw Every day, he rides away Under the hard sun Cause one day you'll be Settling down with me California heaven Under a hard sun California heaven Keeps you on the run To the west my friend I'll meet you once again His horse by his side, the horizon on his mind The gold fever in the American river Took him one bad day To the west, he rides away Like an outlaw To the west, he rides away Under the hard sun California heaven Under a hard sun California heaven Keeps you on the run To the west I guess I will meet you once again California heaven Under a hard sun California heaven Keeps you on the run Maybe we'll die young But free in Laurel canyon California heaven Under a hard sun California heaven Keeps you on the run California heaven California heaven Under a hard sun California heaven Under a hard sun California heaven Keeps you on the run
