Go West Young Man the signs all seem to say now there's San Diego Frisco or LA

Leave that cold cold woman far behind warm yourself in that California sunshine

Go West young man become a movie star or just anything except the fool you are

Expose the lonely corners of your mind to a little dad of that California sunshine

I need a change I've headed up to here she's been playin' game that's very clear

But her play mate will soon be hard to find I'll be in that California sunshine

[ guitar ]

They say those California girls are fine and they know how to really walk your mind

The one of you get ready cause you're mine I'm a headin' for that California sunshine

Well I need a change I've headed...

Yes her play mate will soon be hard to find I'll be in that California sunshine

Baby I'll be in that California sun
