Getting born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper
And her mama was a hippie

In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you got to pay when you pick the panorama



She never knew that there was
Anything more than poor

What in the world what does your
Company take me for

Black bandana sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana

She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
running everywhere sayin'
Baby what 'cha gonna

Looking down the barrel of a
Hot metal 45
Just another way to survive

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Yeah yeah

She's a lover baby and a fighter
Shoulda seen it comin' when
It got a little brighter

With a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come
When I was gonna mourn ya'

A little loaded she was
Stealin' another breath
I loved my baby to death

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
yeah yeah

Who knew the other side of you
Who knew what others died to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true to sad sad sad

Push the fader gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later

Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was gunnin'
For the quota

Down in the badlands
She was savin' the best for last

It only hurts when I laugh
Come too fast

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Yeah Yeah

California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Yeah yeah

Перевод:
Родилась она в штате Миссисиппи.
Папочка был копом, а мамаша была хиппи.
По Алабаме в кандалах моталась,
Заплатив за то, что так сильно выделялась.
Она не знала ничего кроме бедноты.
О, боже мой, ну за кого меня принял ты?

И в бандане по Луизиане
Грабанула банк в старой доброй Индиане
Убежав, бунтует и чарует
С хитрою улыбкою мне она то
