California Here We Are

I was born in Texas raised in Arkansas I was born in Texas left home I heard the call I come to California for honey, milk, and gold Sometimes they would warn ya to do what you've been told G But if you don't or if you do you'll find yourself somewhere and you won't have a clue G I met you in Palestine The heart break high school beauty queen Em You were 21 I was 18 G Hey you had my heart when I heard you sing C Never thought I'd see you again G Well here I am just by coincidence Chorus: C G Texas, Arkansas D Em California, here we are C G How ever long, how ever far D G California, here we are G We came here to be unique but when we look around we see Em Different versions of ourselves G Sippin' tea with someone else C G This promise land was broken and the words that had been spoken can't be taken back so we'll stay here awhile Chorus G I reckon I will go back home eventually but I don't know Em How long it takes to get things done G You had a plan now you've got none C You wonder what you do back there and wonder what you're doing here C7 G Sometimes you leave just so you can't go back Chorus C G The mocking birds are squawking words in minor 3rds about our major flaws C Dog wood and the pecan trees are losing leaves conceding one dream C Soo Chorus (x2) D Californiaa, Californiaaa, Californiaaaaaa, here we are G
