Gone To California Lyrics
To live in the summer sun
The streets are made of silver
I'm like a rabbit on the run
Philadelphia freedom
Well it's not like you have heard
The City of Brotherly Love
Is filled with pain and hurt
I'm goin' to California
To find my pot of gold
Hustlers selling sweets
Baby is home crying
While her momma's on the streets
Everybody's dying
Have you heard the news today
A woman in north Philly is mourning
A bullet took another son away
I'm goin' to California
Goin' far, far away
To resurrect my soul
The sun is always shining
Or at least that's what I'm told
Goin' to California
There's a better life for me
Goin' to California
I'll write and tell you what I see
Goin' to California
Somebody say a prayer for me
this song is about P!NK not wanting to live in Philly anymore because of all the crime and stuff and tellin how she wants to go to Cali and be a star- a dream that has now come true.
I LOVE this song. Everyone can relate to the feeling that Pink had when writing this song. Everyone wants to escape to a better place where the sun is shining and the people are nice. Of course California isn't the BEST state in the world, in my opinion.
I love Pink, she's one of the most inspiring people i can think of. This song is great, but it bothers me that she acts like she's from the ghetto. She grew up in Doylestown...which is over a half an hour from the BORDER of NORTHEAST PHILLY, the best/safest part of the entire city. She's from suburbia. Dont believe me? Look it up. Other than that, this is a wonderful song, and its obvi what it means, legits.
One of my favorite tracks off the album M!ssundaztood.
Also one of the most darkest.
