California Lyrics
I remember I was in the tanning salon
When I heard that River Phoenix was gone
They say that only the good die young
But that ain't true where I come from
California, California
It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away, LA
From the sharks and the Chardonnay
In California, California
Four in the morning we were in our beds
The swaying palm trees above our heads
Woke up to a primal rumbling sound
When the Northridge quake ripped open the ground
California, California
It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away LA
from the sharks and the Chardonnay
In California, in California
Golden State, I'm back in the Golden State
Golden State of mind
Golden State, I'm back In the Golden State
Golden State of mind
It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away LA
From the sharks and the Chardonnay
In California, in California
Walk, walk away
I remember I was in the tanning salon
When I heard that River Phoenix was gone

More Belinda Carlisle
Heaven Is A Place On Earth
Circle In The Sand
Summer Rain
In Too Deep
Mad About You
This is another fantastic song by Belinda.
She lived in L.A., so perhaps you could perceive it to be about herself, leaving California even though she loves it so much. Maybe she decided to leave California because even though it was a fantastic place, where the wine is good, she needed to get out and see the world!
