Baby dance with me one and two I want to make you feel it Dance with me The whole night through If you want a good time bring it If you want a good time bring it I've been chasing you for weeks I ain't slowing down now I will sweep you off your feet Keep you spinning round and round I'll keep you spinning round and round Baby when I see you move You make my eyes start shining And when I hear you call my name You make me jump right out my skin You make me jump right out my skin

California 04:36

Tomorrow I’m going to California I’ve got problems to sleep away I’ve had one too many bad ideas Now I’ve got no friends to make me stay Tomorrow I’m going to California I hear the valleys of wine smell sweet Someday I’ll forget why I ever left Until then I’ll stay there and drink All your friends will disappear When the darkness turns to light Make your shadows dance We’ll all die sometime Don’t slip away into the night If only love will keep us breathing California keeps us dreaming Tomorrow I’m going to California Trying all along to quench my thirst There’s never an excuse to leave the one you love Unless of course she left you first All your friends will disappear When the darkness turns to light Make your shadows dance We’ll all die sometime Don’t slip away into the night If only love will keep us breathing California keeps us dreaming Please hold my hand for a moment We’ve gone downhill all along and I’ve known it But I can’t stop the earth from spinning I won’t stop our hearts from feeling I’ll remember every name Of all the people that I’m meeting I nickname all my companions Like I’m ten years old again I will remember this feeling California is for dreaming All your friends will disappear When the darkness turns to light Make your shadows dance We’ll all die sometime Don’t slip away into the night If only love will keep us breathing California keeps us dreaming

Let me run with you tonight I'll take you on a moonlight ride There's someone I used to see But she don't give a damn for me But let me get to the point Let's roll another joint And turn the radio loud I'm too alone to be proud You don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels to be me People come, people go Some grow young, some grow cold I woke up in between A memory and a dream So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint Let's head on down the road There's somewhere I gotta go And you don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels to be me My old man was born to rock He's still tryin' to beat the clock Think of me what you will I've got a little space to fill So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint And let's head on down the road There's somewhere I got to go And you don't know how it feels No, you don't know how it feels to be me You don't know how it feels No you don't know how it feels No you don't know how it feels to be me

I've been roaming far and wide Got my kicks on the countryside My feet are tired of this heavy load Well there's one girl on my mind She works me every time Her brown eyes make my body roll Well she's got my child I keep moving down the road Road the train in Mississippi Shined some shoes in Tennessee Tried my hand as a gambling man Now I walk in my bare feet I got my hat up in the city With a girl named Jeanine. Where she got that body I don't know and I can't see She took all my money I keep moving down the road Spent three days in Amarillo Paved the streets in San Antone My knees are weak from walking lord All on my own So I hitchhiked up to Arkansas Worked my over to Wichita The faces I saw I did not know Well they probably didn't want me there either no So I keep moving down the road
