There's a (boy/girl) here in old California

Who I know like I know myself

And (s)he's livin' in hell but (s)he's takin' it well

When these bright shiny wings 'neath the shiny moonlight

And (s)he'll be talkin' to the people in flight
                    B          C                F
And I knew from the start that (s)he'd break my heart

And it's cold in California tonight
