house in california

Lyrics

we were sick and tired of buffalo, tired of freezin' and shovelin' snow, so we packed it up and moved out to the coast, to find us a house in california, somethin' at the beach or hollywood, three or four bedrooms sound real good, don't have to have a pool or a veranda, just a simple little house in california, the banker said, "son, what do you do?", i play guitar down at the rendezvous, he said, "boy, you need to be a big time actor or a corporate lawyer, if you want to buy a house in california", 'cause it don't snow and it don't rain and every day looks the same, but before you pack your things let me warn ya, it's the land of milk and honey but you better have good money, if you're lookin' for a house in california, well, i got three jobs, my wife's got two, the kid's flippin' burgers at the local drive-through, we're all doin' everything we can, we're savin' for a house in california, then one day things started shakin', sky went dark and the earth was quakin', then over night it became alarmin', how the prices dropped on a house in california, well, it needs a roof and it needs a plumber, yeah yeah, it's a real fixer-upper, friends back east said somebody shoulda warned ya, but i finally got my house in california, and it don't snow and it don't rain, every day looks the same, and before you pack your things let me warn ya, it's the land of milk and honey but you better have good money, if you're lookin' for a house in california, if you're lookin' for a house in california, well, i finally got my house in california, swimmin' pool. movie star.
