Poem
Saw a girl walkin’ down the road Stopped to talk, then that pretty face glowed "Hey there girl, where ya headin’?" "California, babe. You’re a swinger I’m bettin’." California Girl was her name Thought life was just a game Lived too fast, lived too hard Now she’s been dealt her last card We were drivin’ down the highway Told her she was goin’ my way To California, the place of dreams The place of lies, the place of schemes California Girl was her name Put her momma to shame Endulged too much, had a little more Now she’s left this world, what for? Made it to California, what a sight to see We were gonna rule it all, just her and me Stopped into this little hotel she knew Not a lotta people were there, only a few California Girl was her name Never wanted to be the same She had everything, she had it all But then her life took a horrible fall This hotel was heaven, you know They offered grass, they offered snow She vanished for hours then came back I knew our lives had left the track California Girl was her name Knew she was destined for money and fame Played the good boys, loved the bad She never even knew of the life she had A month into our hotel stay My baby California Girl had begun to stray Woke up late one night to find her dead Layin’ on the floor right next to my bed California Girl was her name Thought life was just a game Lived too fast, lived too hard Now she’s been dealt her last card
