We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for number one
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton

Thinkin' of the roar
Gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!
