Lyrics

California Shakes

With her boxes in the back
"The Waiting" on the radio
She said this ol' town's a heart attack
And went driving toward a better home
"I've never been out east
It's high time I should go"
San Francisco stopped to watch her leave
Her heart set on another coast

California shakes
And worries the night away
Cries out for heaven's sake
Don't leave me here alone
Now Carolina's gone

There's weather on the plains
An other things that she can't change
Because she'd will it so

California shakes
And worries the night away
Cries out for heaven's sake
Don't leave me here alone

California shakes
And worries the night away
Cries out for heaven's sake
Don't leave me here alone
Now Carolina's gone
Now Carolina's gone
Now Carolina's gone
