California Lyrics

[Verse 1: Joe Sib]
I'm gonna move to Southern California
Got me a ride
And a reason to ignore you
Got me a radio
Ain't got no speakers
Ain't much use
So I'm leaving it
Leaving it for you
I'm leaving it for you

[Chorus]
Could be by for you

[Verse 2: Joe Sib]
Gotta find a room and I'm running out of money
Staying out late, but I gotta get up early
Why did I move to Southern California?
Smog isn't blue, someone shoulda warned you
They shoulda warned you

[Chorus 2]
Could be by by
Could be by for you

[Bridge]
Why did I move? (Southern California)
Why did I move? (Southern California, Southern California)
Why did I move? (Southern California, Southern California)
(Southern California, Southern California)
[Outro]
Why did I move to Southern California?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
