Hot summer nights
City in lights
Everyone makin', takin', fakin'
'Til the coast is clear
She's not always right
She'll make you feel alone
Drivin' you crazy, crazy, crazy
Drivin' you home
Here we go again
California go-o-o-o-old
Satisfies my soul
California go-o-o-o-old
Satisfies my soul
California gold
And when you're up in the hills
And you're diggin' the view, yeah
Rememberin' all of those who once stood
Where you do
Here we go again
California go-o-o-o-old
Satisfies my soul
California go-o-o-o-old
Satisfies my soul
Every time it all falls down and the sun's left town
She's the only one for me
California go-o-o-o-old
Satisfies my soul
California gold
(California gold, California gold, California gold)
(California gold, California gold, California gold)
Here we go again
Here we go again
California go-o-o-o-old
Satisfies my soul
California go-o-o-o-old
Satisfies my soul
Every time it all falls down and the sun's left town
She's the only one for me
Caught up in a contact high from the Hollywood sign
She's the only light I see
California gold
