Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper
And mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was 
Anything more than poor
What in the world does your
Company take me for

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana 
Robbin' a bank in the state of Indiana 
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner 
On her merry way sayin?
Baby watcha gonna
Lookin down the barrel of a
Hot metal .45 
Just another way to survive

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show me your teeth
She's my priestess I'm your priest 

She's a lover, baby and a fighter 
Shoulda seen it comin? when 
It got a little brighter 
With a name like Dani California,
The day was gonna come 
When I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded she was 
Stealing another breath 
I love my baby to death

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show me your teeth
She's my priestess I'm your priest 

Who knew the other side of you
Who knew what others died to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true to say say say

Push the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota 
North Dakota man was a gunnin?
For the quota
Down in the badlands 
She was saving the best for last 
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show me your teeth
She's my priestess I'm your priest
