[Verse 1]
Lay your burden down
There ain't no need to carry it around
Ain't no secret of what you're gonna do
Go on, believe me, I've been there, too

[Pre-Chorus]
It's just something that you know
I told you get your things and go
If you're sure that you're right

[Chorus]
She was born California
Where the golden hills are the color of her hair
Brother, don't you say I didn't warn ya
When you end up there, you're gonna end up there

[Verse 2]
See, change is gonna come
Playin' a new song to a different drum
Singin' a new line like you're the only one
Well, this ain't the first time that it's been done

[Pre-Chorus]
It's just something that you know
I told you get your things and go
If you're sure that you're right
[Chorus]
She was born California
Where the golden hills are the color of her hair
Brother, don't you say I didn't warn ya
When you end up there, you're gonna end up there

[Pre-Chorus]
It's just something that you know
I told you get your things and go
If you're sure that you're right

[Chorus]
She was born California
Where the golden hills are the color of her hair
Brother, don't you say I didn't warn ya
When you end up there, you're gonna end up there
