Led Zeppelin - Going To California (Live at Earls Court 1975)

 

 

 

Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Goin' to California with an achin' in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let them tell you that they're all are the same
Oh, the sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
Children of the sun begin to awake
Watch out!

Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow,
I think I might be sinkin'
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born
Standin' on a hill in my mountain of dreams
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
