Etheridge, Melissa - California Lyrics






Raised up on mid-western dreams
Only a few shall get
What everyone shall need
I took my family's burden
Strapped it to my chest
A few hundred bucks,
And a kiss for luck
And I pointed my dreams west

To California
Come rescue me
California
I am almost free

I kept on driving to the setting sun
Galaxies of angels
Welcome everyone
I took my heart out of its box
Attached it to my sleeve
Well, I will be here every night
Because that's what I believe

In California
Come rescue me
California
I am almost free

I will find my love
I will know my peace
I will seek my truth
I am almost free
I am almost free...

I am almost free
I am almost free
I am almost free

In California
I am almost free
In California
I am almost free
(Rescue me)
California
I am almost free

    This is one of those rare songs that completely transcends its genre. I have never cared for country music much, but damn when a song moves you with its heart and soul like this one it sure is something else.

    S.... C....

    Melissa Etheridge is not and has never been country music. She is as rock and roll as they come.

  6. Y.... Y....

    It was my first time listening to her today on the radio while driving. I didn't know who she was and thought it was just another "California Song" but i was wrong. Her voice struck me like the lighting and i was thrilled while "comfortly" driving through traffic. Thank you Melissa Etheridge, you made my day =)

  15. J.... O....

  23. Y.... B....

    what guitar brand she's using??? so adorable

  24. Y.... B....

    she's so gorgeous here...oh i love her hairdo

  25. C.... ....

    I once saw Tom Cruise speaking about Melissa. He said that when she holds the guitar it's as though it becomes an extension of her.... To watch her perform is to know this. Although I have never seen her perform live, it is enough to experience her art in whatever form is available. MLE is an artist. When she performs or speaks there is a truthfulness that is present. There is passion. Artists touch my life (in one form or another) daily, however Ms. Etheridge always holds me rivited

  26. s.... ....

    I LOVE YOU MELISSA!!!

  27. b.... ....
