Back To California

Back To California - Carole King

I've been feelin' down in atlanta

Immobile in alabam

I'd rather be in traction

Than to be here where I am

Oh you georgia red clay

And green virginia pines

I've got to make it home somehow

Before I lose my mind

So won't you carry me back to california

I've been on the road too long

Take me to the west coast daddy

And let me be where I belong

Hey now philly you street city

Been down by the railroad track

I know you can be a sweet city

But I won't soon be back

Haystack towns and smokestack cities

Are nothin' I want to see

My own house on high ground

Is the only place I want to be

So won't you carry me back to california

I've been on the road too long

Take me to the west coast daddy

And let me be where I belong

Hey now philly you street city

Been down by the railroad track

I know you can be a sweet city

But I won't soon be back

Haystack towns and smokestack cities

Are nothin' I want to see

My own house on high ground

Is the only place I want to be

So won't you carry me back to california

I've been on the road too long

Take me to the west coast daddy

And let me be where let me be where I belong
