[Guitar Intro]

[Chorus 1]
Goin' to California
Suitcase in my hand
Never run away a boy
When you can walk away a man

[Verse 1]
Pride it comes to find you
In your hopes and in your dreams
Like a thief who tells his lover
He's got one last thing

[Chorus 2]
'Cause I can see the shadows
At the foot of my door
I can see the faces
They don't doubt us anymore
I can see it coming
I pray I don't go blind
In the middle of our reckoning time

[Verse 2]
Easy is a refuge
And it's an easy place to be
But when the sun shines on us
What will the whole world think
[Chorus 2]
'Cause I can see the shadows
At the foot of my door
I can see the faces
They don't doubt us anymore
I can see it coming
I pray I don't go blind
In the middle of our reckoning time
In the middle of our reckoning time

[Bridge]
The nature of the broken
Spirit of the chosen
We stand alone
A journey through the purpose
The weight of when it's worthless
The words don't show
In the middle of our reckoning time

[Guitar & Harmonica Interlude]

[Chorus 1]
Goin' to California
Suitcase in my hand
Never run away a boy
When you can walk away a man
