We used to drive to the ocean
Lie by the waves
Bathe in the moment
Now I'm alone, I pray for rain to come
Take me away, hmm
Away from the hills full of promise
Streets full of pain
Even in winter
Bright sunny days, I pray for rain to come
Oh, but it never does
Gotta get outta here, start a whole new life
Gotta go somewhere where the sun don't shine so bright
Everything around here
Everything 'bout this place just brings me down, ooh
'Cause there ain't no California without you
Without you
Yeah, there ain't no California
Yeah, there ain't no California without you
Without you
Yeah, there ain't no California
Ooh
It's cold in your shadow
All that remains, ghosts in the desert
Should I run away or pray for strength to come?
I'll run away, hmm
Gotta get outta here, start a whole new life
Gotta go somewhere where the sun don't shine so bright
Everything around here
Everything 'bout this place just brings me down, ooh
'Cause there ain't no California without you
Without you
Yeah, there ain't no California
Yeah, there ain't no California without you
Without you
Yeah, there ain't no California
Ooh
I'll keep runnin', baby
I'll keep runnin'
'Til you stop runnin' through my mind
I'll keep lovin' you
I'll keep lovin' you
I don't really know why
I know that I
Gotta get outta here, start a whole new life
Gotta go somewhere where the sun don't shine so bright
Everything around here
Everything 'bout this place just brings me down, ooh
'Cause there ain't no California without you
Without you
Yeah, there ain't no California
Yeah, there ain't no California without you
Without you
Yeah, there ain't no California
Ooh
I'll keep runnin', baby

Edit: hearing it this time, I thought Patty Griffin. As a PG fan, that's high praise. I like it.
Digging this.
Made me look to see who it was, 'cause i thought it could've been Stevie Nicks singing. That's not a criticism.
New to me, and i like it
I knew it wasn't SN - she's more gravelly - but similar style, and CA connection. Not bad.Made me look to see who it was, 'cause i thought it could've been Stevie Nicks singing. That's not a criticism.

The voice is an acquired taste.. but I think I can acquire it, particularly with this sound

Thought for a moment that I could hear Dolly tones in her singing. Maybe it's just me.
