spent my days with a woman unkind
smoked my stuff and drank all my wine

made up my mind to make a new start
going to california with an aching in my heart

someone told me there's a girl out there
with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

took my chances on a big jet plane
never let them tell you that they're all the same

the sea was red and the sky was grey
wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today

the mountains and the canyons
started to tremble and shake
as the children of the sun began to awake

seems that the wrath of the God
got a punch on the nose
and it started to flow

i think i might be sinking
throw me a line if I reach it in time

i'll meet you up there where the path
runs straight and high

to find a queen without a king
they say she plays guitar and cries and sings

ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
tryin' to find a woman who's never been born

standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams
telling myself it's not as hard
hard, hard as it seems
