Текст песни: Born in California + перевод

I was born in California

The northern territory’s where I’m from

I was raised in the country

But the city is where I make my home

I wash my hands in the Feather River

Feel its cool, cool water on my face

And the «O» on Table Mountain

Is like a beacon calling me back to this place

The foothills and the gold mines

They map out the story of my youth

Till I rambled on down I-5

Seeking out my own kind of truth

I was born in California

Butte County is where it is I’m from

I was raised in the country

But the city is where I make my home

I spent some years in Hollywoodland

They all thought I was a hillbilly son

But when I’d go back to my hometown

They all thought I was as city as they come

So I travelled as a troubadour

Put my heart out on the line for a song

Till I had that old heart broken

Don’t seem a place left where I belong

I was born in California

The northern territory’s where I’m from

I was raised in the country

But the city is where I make my home

You won’t catch me fightin'

My only weapon’s a paper and a pen

Spinnin' yarns of disenchantment

For all of us that don’t quite fit in

Here on the bank of the Tennessee River

I ain’t seen the Golden State in so long

So I take another pull of whiskey

And write out the last line of this song

I was born in California

Butte County is where it is I’m from

I was raised in the country

But the city is where I make my home
