California Lyrics - Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes - Social Distortion

Running around like your front page news 

Lonely eyes and your motorcycle boots 

Tattooed heart and your jet black hair 

Running 'round like you don't care 

Take me down, take me on down the line 

Well, I was born bare with nothing to lose 

But the black man taught me how to sing the blues 

Made a little life outta rock 'n' roll 

And that crazy California, hustle and flow 

Take me down, take me on down the line 

Take me down, take me on down the line 

Well, I went too fast with that rhythm and blues 

Almost ended up dead like all those other fools 

Everyone's got some sort of ball and chain 

What's life without a little pain? 

Take me down, take me on down the line 

Take me down, take me on down the line 

Living in a Hollywood movie dream 

And still reaching for the stars 

Life gets hard and then it gets good, yeah, hey 

Like I always knew it would 

Running around like your front page news 

Lonely eyes and your motorcycle boots 

Tattooed heart and your jet black hair 

Running 'round like you don't care 

Take me down, take me on down the line 

Take me down, take me on down the line 

Take me down, take me on down the line 

Take me down, take me on down the line 

On down the line, on down the line, on down the line 

On down the line, on down the line, on down the line
