Lyrics

It's a California sunrise, early morning coming on
We left the neon lights behind us, in a new Las Vegas dawn
The sunshine and the mountains, feel the warm Pacific breeze
It's a California sunrise, shining down on me

Cruising through San Bernardino, on to Hollywood, L.A.
Past the magic land of Disney, and where Gene Autry's Angels play
From Santa Catalina, twenty-six miles across the sea
From the high and mighty redwoods, it's the land of the free
From the great Sierras, California's calling me

Take the Ventura highway, all the way to San Jose
Leave your heart in San Francisco, Ocean Pacific all the way
The sunshine and the mountains, feel the warm Pacific breeze
Drive the coastline or the desert it's America, land of the free
It's a California sunrise, shining down on me

From Malibu down to San Diego, it's suntans and surfin' U.S.A.
Pretty girls and ocean golden sunsets, everyone who comes wants to stay
Through the canyons and the valleys, feel the warm Pacific breeze
God bless, God bless America, the land of the free
It's a California sunrise, shining down on me
The Santa Ana winds keep whistling, California's calling me
