about

Not since "Big city lightning grease paced worried mind blues about a girl named Grace and the curse she carries with her," have I had as much fun with a song as I did this one.
For that slice of silly, good time excellence, see here:

I truly believe I could write verses to this song until the sun exploded or snuffed out, or whatever it's aim to do.
This is the fun one for me this week and I had fun with it, that's for sure. Who says I'm all doom and gloom?
Oh yeah, there is my other song this week. . . If you don't dig silly, stupid Mitchell, you may enjoy the other song. It's more in line with my normal stuff.

lyrics

I
I’m going down to California
Then just gonna turn around and come back home
I’m going down to California
Then just gonna turn around and come back home

There ain’t nothing waiting for me there
I just got that nagging, sickly urge to roam

II
I’ma stop off in Virginia
And pawn this old monkey suit
I’ma stop off in Virginia
And pawn my grandpa’s monkey suit

Or maybe trade it in for something keen
Like a rhinestone covered parachute


III
I’m gonna cross that Mississippi
But I ain’t a-gonna pay no toll
I’m gonna cross that Mississippi
But I ain’t a-gonna pay no toll

Because salvation don’t cost nothing
And a ferry ride can’t be worth more than a soul

IV
I’m cuttin’ across Kansas
Gonna think bout things I seen on trains
Cuttin’ across Kansas
Think bout things I’ve seen on trains

I might head up Seattle
See if I can stomach all them rains

V
You know that brunette girl in A Hard Days Night?
She’s one of them schoolgirls on the train
You know that brunette bird in A Hard Days Night?
She’s one of them schoolgirls on the train

I always thought she was right pretty
Where as Pattie Boyd looks kinda plain

VI
I’m going down to California
Then I’m gonna turn right back around
I’m going down to California
Then I’m gonna turn right back around

I ain’t even gonna cross the state line
Ain’t never gonna touch California ground
