House in California歌词

作词 : Keb' Mo', Nicholson
锘縒e were sick and tired of Buffalo,
tired of freezin鈥 and shovelin鈥 snow

So we packed it up and moved out to the coast,

to find us a house in California.

Somethin鈥 at the beach or Hollywood,

three of four bedrooms sound real good,

Don鈥檛 have to have a pool or river run,

just a simple little house in California.

The bank said, 鈥渟on, what do you do?鈥,
I said I play guitar down at the Rendez-vous,

He said, 鈥渂oy you got to be a big time actor or a corporate lawyer,

if you want to buy a house in California!鈥

{Refrain}
鈥楥ause it don鈥檛 snow and it don鈥檛 rain,
ever鈥 day looks the same,

and before you pack your thangs, let me warn ya鈥,
It鈥檚 the land of milk and honey,
but you better have good money,
If you鈥檙e lookin鈥 for a house in California!

Well I got me a job, my wife鈥檚 got two,

kids flippin鈥 burgers at the local drive-thru,

We all doin鈥 everything we can,

we savin鈥 for a house in California.

Then one day the bank starts shakin鈥,
the sky went dark and the earth was a quakin鈥

Then o鈥檙 night, it be came alarmin鈥,

how the price dropped on a house in California!

Well it needs a roof and it needs a floor,

yeah yeah, it鈥檚 a real fixer-upper,

Friends back east said somebody should have warned

ya, about buyin鈥 my big house in California.

{Refrain}

鈥楥ause it don鈥檛 snow and it don鈥檛 rain,
ever鈥 day looks the same,

and before you pack your thangs, let me warn ya鈥,
It鈥檚 the land of milk and honey,

but you better have good money,
If you鈥檙e lookin鈥 for a house in California!
