SOMETHING'S WRONG IN CALIFORNIA
(Wayne C. Thompson / Rodney Lay)


Vern Gosdin - 1978


Somethin's wrong in California
I can tell by the letters she don't write
I gotta get back to California
Somethin' just ain't right in California

Stranded here in Kansas City
Ain't got a nickel to my name
I gotta get back to see my baby
Just the same, back to California

I said I'd send for her when I made it
But I ain't made it and deep inside I'm afraid it's all over

Shouldn't have left her in California
That was a foolish thing to do
I gotta get back (Gotta get back) to see my baby
Lord, I hope she's still true in California (California)

Last time I heard from her I was in Denver
Lord, I'm so afraid she forgot to remember to love me

Somethin's wrong in California
I can tell by the letters she don't write
Gotta get back (Gotta get back) to California
Somethin' just ain't right in California (California)
California
