Lyrics

[00:31] Driven through the canyons I was
[00:33] Dazzled by the mountains and we didn't go very far
[00:42] Close enough to heaven if you
[00:44] Climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star
[00:52] I tried to get inside I bought a
[00:54] Ticket with my pride and I was gone right out of my head
[01:03] I went out for a ride to go
[01:05] Across a great divide and I ended up at home instead
[01:13] California
[01:19] I thought I should see
[01:24] Now I'm back home, yeah
[01:29] With twelve little pieces of me
[01:45] I was just a passenger a
[01:47] Rider on the tremors that were shaking all our beds at night
[01:55] A visitor a stranger thought I
[01:57] Might pass for a regular if I just kept out of the lights
[02:05] Tore my heart out from my chest
[02:08] Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul
[02:16] Chose the ones I loved the most
[02:19] Drove 'em all down to the coast
[02:21] Threw 'em in a big black hole
[03:30][02:27] California
[03:36][02:33] I thought I should see
[03:41][02:38] Now I'm back home, yeah
[03:45][02:42] With twelve little pieces of me
[03:51][02:48] California
[03:57][02:54] I dreamed I would find
[04:02][02:59] Some kinda sorta pick-me-up
[04:06][03:02] I got twelve little pieces of my mind
[04:22][04:17][04:12] twelve little pieces of my mind
