Dani California Songtext / Lyric

Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and mama 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
Oh her marry way sayin' baby whatcha gonna

Lookin down the barrel of a hot METAL .45
Just another way to survive



Chorus:
California rest in peace,
Simultaneous release,
California Show me your teeth,
She's my priestess I'm your priest Yeah Yeah



She's a lover, baby and a fighter
She should've 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



Chorus:
California rest in peace,
Simultaneous release,
California Show me your teeth,
She's my priestess I'm your priest Yeah Yeah



Who knew the other side of you
Who knew the other side you proved
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true too say say say


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




Chorus:
California rest in peace,
Simultaneous release,
California Show me your teeth,
She's my priestess I'm your priest Yeah Yeah


Chorus:
California rest in peace,
Simultaneous release,
California Show me your teeth,
She's my priestess I'm your priest Yeah Yeah
