The Winding Rivers of Northern California

The Winding Rivers of Northern California - Biv and The Mnemonics

Northern california

By a town outside the lake

I find myself daydreaming

Of my wild carefree days

I can dip in the water

As i gently sip my beer

Or jump head first into the river

That cold water makes me shiver

But i love to disappear

The music plays on all night

Even when the sun comes up

And everyone around

Looks like theyll never have enough

The guitars keep on strumming

Til the sun goes round the bend

Takes with it my sorrows

I can't wait until tomorrow

To do it all again

And when i get much older i will know

It doesnt get much better than the ride were on

And i could say i told ya

But id just be wrong

The days when i got lazy

And the days when i got crazy

Is where i belong

So give me that cold river

In the mountains by the lake

In northern california

In my wild carefree days

I'm bringing all my friends

Were gonna make some new ones too

And even if its snowing

Californias good for goin

To find a better view

And when i get much older i will know

It doesnt get much better than the ride were on

And i could say i told ya

But id just be wrong

The days when i got lazy

And the days when i got crazy

Is where i belong
