[Verse 1]
Woke up, it's a beautiful day again
One love is driftin' through the air
It's 10 a.m., and I'm feelin' just fine
Roll up to the liquor store on Diamond Street
Skate down the pavement through the palm trees (Whoo!)
And I'm feelin' just fine

[Pre-Chorus]
Nothin' to do, nowhere to go
And that's alright, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Summer nights come and go
I left my heart in Mexico
Back to the beach in San Diego where the sun shines, oh-oh
In this stage of drinkin' wine
California on my mind
There's a place between the mountains and the ocean

[Post-Chorus]
That's where I belong
That's whеre I belong
That's wherе I belong
With California on my mind, oh
That's where I belong
[Verse 2]
The sun sets low across the bay
And no dark clouds got in the way
It's just you and me, we got all night
To catch the stars up high
I wanna feel the sand between my toes
Imagine how far the water goes
Those moments I can never hold

[Pre-Chorus]
Nothin' to do, nowhere to go
And that's alright, yeah, yeah

[Horn Solo]

[Chorus]
Summer nights come and go
I left my heart in Mexico
Back to the beach in San Diego where the sun shines, oh-oh
In the stage drinkin' wine
California on my mind
There's a place between the mountains and the ocean

[Post-Chorus]
That's where I belong
That's where I belong
That's where I belong
With California on my mind, oh
That's where I belong
