All the gold in California

Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills

In somebody else’s name

So if you’re dreaming about California

It don’t matter at all where you played before

California’s a brand new game

Trying to be a hero, winding up a zero

Can scar a man forever, right down to your soul

Living in the spotlight can kill a man out right

Cause everything that glitters is not gold

And all the gold in California

Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills

In somebody else’s name

So if you’re dreaming about California

It don’t matter at all where you played before

California’s a brand new game

And all the gold in California

Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills

In somebody else’s name

So if you’re dreaming about California

It don’t matter at all where you played before

California’s a brand new game
