California High

In the desert I call home
 There's a place I like to go
 To feel less alone
 Take a dive in the pool of time
 In the shade of valley low
 Where a maze of mushrooms grow
 And the ocotillos glow
 Lai-di-dai
 That's when I get high
 Oh, I get
 High
 On nostalgia, my favorite drug, my faded life
 Mojave winds, dust on our skin, sun in your eyes
 Memories of us, lost in the dusk, California high
 In my life of wandering
 When I play guitar and sing
 Everybody drinks to the bedouin nights
 And the world gone by
 I've been trying to move on
 Tip my hat and say so long
 Sing a different song
 Lai-di-dai
 But then I get high
 Oh, I get
 High
 On nostalgia, my favorite drug, my faded life
 Mojave winds, dust on our skin, sun in your eyes
 Memories of us, lost in the dusk, California high
 On nostalgia, my favorite drug, my faded life
 Mojave winds, dust on our skin, sun in your eyes
 Memories of us, lost in the dusk, California high
