When You Get To California - Hoodoo Gurus

Freedom’s in the air.

It’s waiting there

You’ll know when you get to California

Darling Clementine, it’s a state of mind

You’ll know when you get to California

Freedom’s in the air.

It’s waiting there

You’ll know when you get to California

And while the planets turn

I’m gonna live and I’ll learn
