Buck Owens - Hello California lyrics

(Don Rich)

Hello California, California here I come

Well, here I am on my way back home

With my discharge in my hand

It sure is good have my two feet

Back on solid land

I didn't see a woman for eighteen days

When I crawled aboard that ship

And seein' all the girls in mini skirts

Is givin' my heart a lift

Hello California, you sure are place to see

Goodbye Arizona, you're just a little too hot for me

Well, New York City and Albuquerque

Sure was a lotta fun

Hello California, California here I come

--- Instrumental ---

Well, when I left home about a year ago

I sure wasn't much of a man

And there's still a lotta things in this old world

That I don't understand

But there's one thing that I'm certain of

I should have figured it out before

Oh, when I get back to California

I ain't never gonna leave no more

Hello California, you sure are place to see

Goodbye Arizona, you're just a little too hot for me

Well, New York City and Albuquerque

Sure was a lotta fun

Hello California, California here I come

Hello California, California here I come...
