All the gold in California
Is in the bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else's name

So if you're dreamin' about California
It don't matter at all where you played before
California's a brand-new game

Tryin' to be a hero, widing up a zero
Can scar a man forever right down to your soul
Living on the spotlight can kill a man outright
'Cause everything that glitters is not gold

All the gold in California
In in the bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else's name

So if you're dreamin' about California
It don't matter at all where you've played before
California's a brand-new game
