Oh my dear, what a race that we have run
Oh my sweet, what a face we've become

How do I go back to California
How do I leave the green fields here
Warm nights and your sweet magnolia
How do I leave the green fields here

Oh my friends, what a long trip it's been
Many nights, and the friends that we have made

How do I go back to California
How do I leave the tall trees here
Warm nights and your sweet magnolia
How do I leave the green fields here

How do I go back to California
How do I leave the green fields here
Warm nights and your sweet magnolia
How do I leave the green fields here
