Gettin' born in the
state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and
momma was a hippie
In Alabama, she would
swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay
when you break
the panorama
She never knew that
there was anything
more than poor
What in the world
does your company
take me for?
Black bandana,
sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in
the state of Indiana
She's a runner,
rebel and a stunner
Condemned everywhere
sayin' baby whatcha
gonna
Lookin down the
barrel of a hot
metal forty-five
Just another
way to survive
California rest
in peace
Simultaneous release
California show
your teeth
She's my priestess
I'm your priest
Yeah yeah
She's a lover,
baby and a fighter
She shoulda seen it
comin' when it got
a little brighter
With a name like
Dani California
The day was gonna
come when I was
gonna mourn ya
A little loaded
she was stealing
another breath
I love my baby
to death
California rest
in peace
Simultaneous release
California show
your teeth
She's my priestess
I'm your priest
Yeah yeah
Who knew the
other side of you?
Who knew that other
side you proved?
Too true to say
goodbye to you
Too true
too sad sad sad
First to fade her,
gifted and I made her
One for the now and
eleven for the later
Never made it
up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was
a comin' for the quota
Down in the badlands
she was saving the
best for last
It only hurts
when I laugh...
Gone too fast...
California rest
in peace
Simultaneous release
California show
your teeth
She's my priestess
I'm your priest
Yeah yeah
California rest
in peace
Simultaneous release
California show
your teeth
She's my priestess
I'm your priest
Yeah yeah
