Album:

Goin' Down Rockin': The Last Recordings Album

I've got friends in California
 Who really care about me
 And right now a friend is what I need the most
 Somewhere out in California
 Is where I ought to be
 So I'll pack up my trouble
 And take 'em to the coast


This old town is gettin' colder
 With winter comin' on
 But it was just as cold back in Juli
 There ain't nothin' here to hold me
 With storm clouds movin' in
 Lord knows I need a friend and sunny skies
 I've got some cousins up near Frisco
 They've been on my mind
 And my best friend's got a place in Malibu
 I've got an old flame in the desert
 Livin' on the Falkland
 I'd be better off with her then here with you


I've got friends in California
 Who really care about me
 Right now a friend is what I need the most
 Somewhere out in California
 Is where I ought to be
 So I'll pack up my trouble
 And take 'em to the coast
