when i get to california (2025 remastered version) - steve forbert lyrics

[verse 1]
the path of least resistance it is often taken but
the path of least resistance often ain’t much but a rut
you rarely get a second chance to make a first impression
could i just lie down a while here while we ride out this recession?
i’ve been close enough to the edge today to see how much was left
oh, but i backed off some from there because i tend to need myself
for all intents and purposes the world we live in’s real
which makes it hard to shrug it off or fake the way you feel

[chorus]
no one ever sat me down with a “hey, kid, let me warn ya”
anyway i’ll figure it out, when i get to california

[verse 2]
whatever she wants to talk about will not be good i’ll bet
i’m only looking forward to it ’cause it hasn’t happened yet
what’s a june bug s’posed to do, oh no, when july rolls around
except for just his level best to keep his back up off the ground?

[chorus]
no one ever sat me down with a “hey, kid, let me warn ya”
anyway i’ll figure it out, when i get to california

[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
that faded yellow roadside sign says “slow, children at play”
but i know that they’ve all grown up and most have moved away
my sense of disassociation’s worse with every year
it’s hard to make much sense of things although they’re loud an’ clear

[chorus]
no one ever sat me down with a “hey, kid, let me warn ya”
anyway i’ll figure it out, when i get to california

[outro]
when i get to california
