Blue Swede - I Didn't Sing (In The New York Subway)

If you take the sun
And you take the fun
Of a California day
I take my hat off to ya

If you take my car on
A credit card
Make everything okay
Well I say hallelujah

I'm getting lonelier by the minute
This kind of life's got nothing in it
For a city boy
Looking for a piece of home

I didn't sing in the New York subway
I didn't pay all my New York dues
Just to be here on a foggy mountain
Call it California (call it California)
Call it California blues

There's a place to go
You can see the snow
Only 15 miles away
And that's supposed to get ya

But you've got no friends
Where the sidewalk ends
'Cause you might look in their eyes
And they 'aint gonna let ya

I haven't seen one sight out of season
To me that's more than enough of a reason
For a city boy
To write another letter home

I didn't sing in the New York subway
I didn't pay all my New York dues
Just to be here on a foggy mountain
Call it California (call it California)
Call it California blues

(I) I didn't sing in the New York subway
(I) I didn't pay all my New York dues
Just to be here on a foggy mountain
Call it California (call it California)
Call it California blues

(I didn't sing in the New YorkSubway)
I didn't sing in the New York Subway
(I didn't pay all my New York dues)
I didn't pay my dues
(Just to be here on a foggy mountain)
Just to be here on this mountain
Call it California (Call it California)
Call it California blues
