California Bloodlines - John Stewart

Had I been born in New York City

A New York City girl I’d know

Workin' in the concrete, not the sunlight

Livin' in the New York rain and snow

Oh, there’s California bloodlines in my heart

And a California woman in my song

Oh, there’s California bloodlines in my heart

And a California heartbeat in my soul

And just to think I might have never known you

If I had lived my life in Tennessee

But I really could have never let that happen

For you and California are in me

Oh, there’s California bloodlines in my heart

And a California woman in my song

Oh, there’s California bloodlines in my heart

And a California heartbeat in my soul

Have you wondered where we were before we were born?

Rollin' 'round the heavens like a song

I know it’s then I saw the big Sierras

Saw a California sunrise comin' on

Oh, there’s California bloodlines in my heart

And a California woman in my song

Oh, there’s California bloodlines in my heart

And a California heartbeat in my soul

Oh, there’s California bloodlines in my heart

And a California woman in my song

Oh, there’s California bloodlines in my heart

And a California heartbeat in my soul
