California Avenue Lyrics

All I keep doing is wrong

All you keep saying is right

Can't even make up a song

I can't seem to turn on the light

Sitting on the church steps

Watch the boys play basketball

California Avenue, 7th Street

Wondering why God

I can't go to the jam

I don't have a guitar handy anymore

I was feeling special till I moved to California

Now I'm not

All I keep saying is yes

All I keep meaning is no

I've got nothing left to confess

'Cause everything about me they know

I'm a singer but I don't have a stage

I'm a writer but I don't have the age

You know I'm only making minimum wage

"Don't try" said the poet

That's all I can do

Sitting on the church steps

Watch the boys play basketball

(summer's getting hot, we'll meet up at our spot)

California Avenue, 7th Street

Wondering why God

(In a secret way, down by the Florida bay)

I can't go to the jam

I don't have a guitar handy anymore

(Will you be in town? Do you feel me now?)

I was feeling special till I moved to California

Now I'm not

Sitting on the church steps

Watch the boys play basketball

(summer's getting hot, we'll meet up at our spot)

California Avenue, 7th Street

Wondering why God

(In a secret way, down by the Florida bay)

I can't go to the jam

I don't have a guitar handy anymore

(Will you be in town? Oh do you feel me now?)

I was feeling special till I moved to California

Now I'm not
