Its Cold In California
Merle Haggard
[Intro] [Verse] There’s a (boy/girl) here in old California Who I know like I know myself And (s)he’s livin’ in hell but (s)he’s takin’ it well And it’s cold in California tonight [Verse] It’s cloudy in California this evening This old jet plane soon will be leavin’ When these bright shiny wings ’neath the shiny moonlight It’ll be cold in California tonight [Instrumental] [Verse] (S)he’ll be drinkin’ his/her first cup of coffee And (s)he’ll be talkin’ to the people in flight And I knew from the start that (s)he’d break my heart Oh it’s cold in California tonight [Outro] Though the weather is fine the chill set is mine And it’s cold in California tonight Lord it’s cold in California tonight.
