The Brooklyn Cowboys - Californ' lyrics

I was born in New York City And I grew up like the rest My feet were on the city streets My mind lay on the west In the movies and the music Soon a dream began to grow It wasn't long before I had to go Californ-ya Californ'-ya called my name And bade me come to you Californ-ya Californ' Your golden coast and Pacific Blue Yeah for awhile you made my dreams come true How I miss you, sweet Pomona Where my journey came to end You took me in your summer arms And held me like a friend And the moonlight on the ocean Down in Venice by the sea How often now in dreams you come to me Californ-ya Californ' Your golden coast and Pacific Blue Yeah for awhile you made my dreams come true Californ-ya Californ'-ya called my name And bade me come to you Californ-ya Californ' Ya stole my heart And left me lost in you Ah but for awhile you made my dreams come true
