Ride To California - Paper Tongues

40−40 dollar to the man who wanna go

20−20 to the sister with the ticket at the grocery store

I wish someone would get mine

If you got an extra dollar, can you lend it to a man who’s poor?

I’m beat up but I ain’t down

I’ve been lost but now I’m found

I’ve been defeated for sure

And now I got a chance and the city better let me go

I can’t wait to get a ride to California

Cause it makes sense to go to California

If Hollywood is where it’s at, let’s go to California

Cause it makes sense to go to California

Can I give up?

No

Let’s just go

L.A., whoa

Got no money, sure

If you was me, see, you’d do the same thing you know

So leave your bags at your momma’s door

Going, going, going to the man in the back

Cut the line if you feel me

Let me hear you sing it one more time

I’ve set my mind to break free

Now my body’s gettin' loose

While I’m shakin' like a dancing tree

I’m beat up but I ain’t down

I’ve been lost but now I’m found

I need deliverance for sure

If you got another seat on the bus will you let me go

I can’t wait to get a ride to California

Cause it makes sense to go to California

If Hollywood is where it’s at, let’s go to California

Cause it makes sense to go to California

Can I give up?

No

Let’s just go

L.A., whoa

Got no money, sure

If you was me, see, you’d do the same thing you know

So leave your bags at your momma’s door

I really gotta catch that ride

I need to find a place in line

I’m pickin' up an L.A. vibe

I really wanna go this time

Whoa

I can’t wait to get a ride to California

Cause it makes sense to go to California

If Hollywood is where it’s at, let’s go to California

Cause it makes sense to go to California

Can I give up?

No

Let’s just go

L.A., whoa

Got no money, sure

If you was me, see, you’d do the same thing you know

So leave your bags at your momma’s door

Interstate, freeway, green light--go

You can even get a plane or a train if the traffic’s slow

I bet you won’t beat me

I’ve been waiting for a mighty long time so you best believe

I’m beat up but I ain’t down

I’ve been lost but now I’m found

I need a ticket for sure

If you got another seat on the plane will you let me go

Hey!

Break free

Hey!

Break free

Hey!

Break free

Hey!

Come, go with me

Hey!

Break free

Hey!

Break free

Hey!

Come, go with me

I can’t wait to get a ride to California

Cause it makes sense to go to California

If Hollywood is where it’s at, let’s go to California

Cause it makes sense to go to California

Can I give up?

No

Let’s just go

L.A., whoa

Got no money, sure

If you was me, see, you’d do the same thing you know
