text: Gettin born in the state of Mississippi
  Poppa was a copper and her momma was a hippie
  In Alabama, she would swing a hammer
  Price you gotta pay when you break 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
  Shes a runner, rebel and a stunner
  On her merry way sayin, Baby, what you gonna—?
  Lookin down the barrel of a hot metal .45
  Just another way to survive
  California, rest in peace
  Simultaneous release
  California, show your teeth
  Shes my priestess, Im your priest, yeah, yeah
  Shes a lover, baby and a fighter
  Shoulda seen her comin when it got a little brighter
  With a name like Dani California
  Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
  A little loaded, she was stealin another breath
  I love my baby to death
  California, rest in peace
  Simultaneous release
  California, show your teeth
  Shes my priestess, Im 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 say, say, say
  Push the fader, gifted animator
  One for the now and eleven for the later
  Never made it up to Minnesota
  North Dakota man was a gunnin for the quota
  Down in the Badlands, she was savin the best for last
  It only hurts when I laugh
  Gone too fast
  California, rest in peace
  Simultaneous release
  California, show your teeth
  Shes my priestess, Im your priest, yeah, yeah
  California, rest in peace 
  Simultaneous release 
  California, show your teeth 
  Shes my priestess, Im your priest, yeah, yeah
