Johnny Paycheck - California dream

^AIt's been fifteen years now since the wine took hold of me And the ^Dcall of the wild it came so strong I just had to be ^Afree Now I'm so tired of railroad tracks hobo camps and ^Dstreams And I wanna go ^E7back to my California ^Adreams ^A7

^AIt seems like only yesterday I had such big plans ^DCalifornia sunshine Hollywood and girls money in both ^Ahands But sittin' here in the cold night air I hear that lonesome whistle ^Dscream I'll never get ^E7back to my California ^Adreams^A7

That ol' ^Dmidnight train is a flyin' low headin' for New Or^Aleans ^DIt's so cold standin' here I know what that ^Ameans To^Dmorrow I'll be in Dixie where the ^Asoft warm winds ^F#7blow ^B7Cause a hobo just don't care which ^Eway that ol' train ^E7goes

Cause ^Aone of these days I'll get to LA when I do boys watch my ^Dsteam Oh I gotta get ^E7back to my California ^Adreams^A7 Oh ^E7California here I ^Acome ^{A7 A G}
