Lord put me in a Mustang
Send me down a desert highway
Where the rain never falls
And the sun always shines
I found a cheap motel, with the neon sign
Blessing for the world to see
'Cause you can take the kid out of California
But you can't take the California kid out of me
Home sweet, golden coast
Got my heart not matter where I go
Till then, lay me down
There's no telling where I'll be
But you can't take the California kid, out of me
Lord put me in a Polaroid
With the high school quarterback, the beach boys
Singing God only know whatever happens to him
It's a teenage dream, it's a damn good thing
This 66 Ford runs on, on
Let it in, memories
Yeah, you can take the kid out of California
But you can't take the California kid out of
Home sweet, golden coast
Got my heart not matter where I go
Till then, lay me down
There's no telling where I'll be
But you can't take the California kid out of me
If I ever get lost, I know just what I need
Take me down to the valley
Take me down to the sea
It's calling me home, home
It's calling me home, home
Calling me home
Home sweet, golden coast
Got my heart not matter where I go
Till then, lay me down
There's no telling where I'll be
But you can't take the California kid, no
But you can't take the California kid, no
You can't take the California kid out of me
The California kid out of me
