Friends in California

I've got friends in California

Who really care about me

And right now a friend is what I need the most

Somewhere out in California

Is where I ought to be

So I'll pack up my trouble

And take 'em to the coast

This old town is gettin' colder

With winter comin' on

But it was just as cold back in Juli

There ain't nothin' here to hold me

With storm clouds movin' in

Lord knows I need a friend and sunny skies

I've got some cousins up near Frisco

They've been on my mind

And my best friend's got a place in Malibu

I've got an old flame in the desert

Livin' on the Falkland

I'd be better off with her then here with you

I've got friends in California

Who really care about me

Right now a friend is what I need the most

Somewhere out in California

Is where I ought to be

So I'll pack up my trouble

And take 'em to the coast
