Billy doesn't love me but he keeps good company He only comes here when there's no-one else to see I don't mind if he comes around I know the winter gets him down Billy doesn't love me but he keeps good company
We can't afford a ticket but we can always dream It looks so good you could almost kiss the screen We've seen the blue, we've seen the smiles We can get a map and count the miles It looks so good you could almost kiss the screen
And when we get there, what will we find ? All the way to California, all the way to California Why don't you come with me And I'll get you through January in California
Why don't you come and lie down next to me When you're feeling like a river lost in the deep blue sea Under covers you're a child We'll be there in a little while Why don't you come and lie down next to me
And when we get there, what will we find ? Will we find something we left behind ? All the way to California, all the way to California Why don't you some with me And I'll get you through January in California California
