Lyrics
Back in California
Kevin Whalen ASCAP 2025
Verse 1:
You know the problem is, there’s no problem here anymore.
So take the pill, don’t even ask what it’s for.
Take those words right out of my mouth and
Put em’ back in me.
Then drive me to the nearest ATM, so I can withdraw
All of my love for you and me,
Withdraw all of my love, for you and me.
Chorus 1:
It’s so good to be back in California,
Gonna find some waves, crashing down on the beach.
It’s so good to be back in California,
Going back to the mountains, then Joshua Tree,
Which leads me, back to-you-and-me,
Back to you and me.
Verse 2:
You know the problem, there’s no problem here anymore.
So take the pill, don’t even ask what it’s for.
Take those words right out of my mouth and
Put em’ back in me.
Then drive me to the nearest ATM, so I can withdraw
All of my love for you and me,
Withdraw all of my love, for you and me.
Chorus 2:
It’s so good to be back in California,
Gonna find some waves, crashing down on the beach.
It’s so good to be back in California,
Going back to the mountains, then Joshua Tree,
Which leads me, back to-you-and-me.
Instrumental:
Chorus 3:
It’s so good to be back in California,
Gonna find some waves, crashing down on the beach.
It’s so good to be back in California,
Going back to the mountains, then Joshua Tree,
Which leads me, back to-you-and-me.
Back to you and me.
Outro:
So good to be back, in California
So good to be back, in California
So good to be back, in California
