Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you pick the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world? What does [bad word] take me for?

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's [bad word]  rebel and a stunner
Oh her merry way sayin' baby whatcha gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal forty five
Just another way to survive
 [bad word] ]
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah

She's a lover baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen [bad word] when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Day was [bad word] when I was gonna mourn ya
little loaded, she was stealin' another breath
I love my baby to death
 [bad word] 

Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew what others died to prove?
Too [bad word] to say good bye to you
Too [bad word] to say say say...

Push the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota

Down in the badlands she was savin' the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast...
 [bad word] 2x]
