Driven through the canyons I was,
Dazzled by the mountains and we, didn't go very far,
Close enough to heaven if you,
Climb up on a mansion you too can, swing like a star.
I tried to get inside,
I bought a ticket with my pride,
And I was gone right out of my head,
I went out for a ride to go,
Across a great divide,
And I ended up at home instead.
California,
I thought I should see,
Now I'm back home, yeah,
With twelve little pieces of me.
I was just a passenger,
A rider on the tremors,
That were shaking all our beds at night,
A visitor a stranger thought
I might pass for a regular,
If I just kept out of the lights.
Tore my heart out from my chest,
Mixed it up in my mind,
With the best freshest pieces of my soul,
Chose the ones I loved the most,
Drove 'em all down to the coast,
Threw 'em in a big black hole.
California,
I thought I should see,
Now I'm back home, yeah,
Got twelve little pieces of me,
California,
I dreamed I would find,
Some kinda sorta pick-me-up,
I got twelve little pieces of my mind.
California,
I thought I should see,
Now I'm back home, yeah,
Got twelve little pieces of me,
California,
I dreamed I would find,
Some kinda sorta pick-me-up,
I got twelve little pieces of my mind,
Twelve little pieces of my mind,
Twelve little pieces of my mind,
Twelve little pieces of my mind, ohh.
