When You Get To California

I used to think I was on my own
I used to think I was fully grown
Yeah well everyone thinks
They’ve got it down cold
And I guess I’m like everyone
But that was before I was unknown
You’ll know when you get to California
Darling Clementine, it’s a state of mind
You’ll now when you get to California
Freedom’s in the air. It’s waiting there
The life that I had back in New York
Was happy enough, or so I always thought
Yeah, I made a new friend
Who opened my eyes
To what’s inside of everyone and
Now I can see I was all talk
You’ll know when you get to California
Darling Clementine, it’s a state of mind
You’ll know when you get to California
Freedom’s in the air. It’s waiting there
You’ll know when you get to California
And while the planets turn
I’m gonna live and I’ll learn
