California - Melissa Etheridge

Raised up on mid-western dreams

Only a few shall get

What everyone shall need

I took my family’s burden

Strapped it to my chest

A few hundred bucks

And a kiss for luck

And I pointed my dreams west

To California

Come rescue me

California

I am almost free

I kept on driving to the setting sun

Where galaxies of angels

Welcome everyone

I took my heart out of its box

Attached it to my sleeve

Well, I will be here every night

Because that’s what I believe

In California

Come rescue me

California

I am almost free

I will find my love

I will know my peace

I will seek my truth

I am almost free

I am almost free

I am almost free

I am almost free

I am almost free

In California

I almost free

In California

I am almost free

Rescue me

California

I am almost free
