Mornings, I'd have one eye open watching her as she got dressed for work
Barefoot on the hardwood floor, rushing 'round in just her bra and skirt
As the golden sun came creeping thru the window, bouncing off the closet door
I used to love California, but these days I'm not so sure
We had a little place out in the Valley, things were always safe and warm
So much so I didn't notice it was getting chilly in her arms
After while tho, no mistaking, there was less affection in her touch
I used to love California, but lately not so much
I used to love California, when California was our happy home
I used to love California, til I started into wake up there alone
Without her I don't care about the desert of the smell of orange trees
I used to love California, but I've since moved back east
People often ask me if I hate it there, the fact is that I don't
I could move back there tomorrow, but probably I won't
It's a little bit expensive, but you can't beat the quality of life
I used to love california, back when we were man & wife
I used to love California, nighttimes drifting down the 101
I used to love California, kissing in the California sun
It's as good a place as any, really I don't mean to put it down
I used to love California, but that was then and this is now
