had i been born in new york city
a new york city girl i'd know
workin' in the concrete
not the sunlight
livin' in the new york rain and snow
oh
there's california bloodlines in my heart
and a california woman in my song
oh
there's california bloodlines in my heart
and a california heartbeat in my soul
and just to think i might have never known you
if i had lived my life in tennessee
but i really could have never let that happen
for you and california are in me
oh
there's california bloodlines in my heart
and a california woman in my song
oh
there's california bloodlines in my heart
and a california heartbeat in my soul
have you wondered where we were before we were born
rollin' 'round the heavens like a song
i know it's then i saw the big sierras
saw a california sunrise comin' on
oh
there's california bloodlines in my heart
and a california woman in my song
oh
there's california bloodlines in my heart
and a california heartbeat in my soul
oh
there's california bloodlines in my heart
and a california woman in my song
oh
there's california bloodlines in my heart
and a california heartbeat in my soul
