House in California - Keb' Mo'

We were sick and tired of Buffalo

Tired of freezing and shoveling snow

So we packed it up and moved out to the coast

To find us a house in California

Something at the beach or Hollywood

Three or four bedrooms sound real good

Don't have to have a pool or a veranda

Just a simple little house in California

The banker said son what do you do

I play guitar down at the rendevous

He said boy you need to

Be a big time actor or a corporate lawyer

If you want to buy a house in California

'Cause it don't snow and it don't rain

And every day looks the same

But before you pack your things let me warn ya

It's the land of milk and honey

But you better have good money

If you're looking for a house in California

Well I got three jobs my wife's got two

The kid's flipping burgers at the local drive through

We're all doing everything we can

We're saving for a house in California

Then one day things started shaking

Sky went dark and the earth was quaking

Then over night it became alarming

How the prices dropped on a house in California

Well it needs a roof and it needs a plumber

Yeah yeah its' a real fixer-upper

Friends back east said somebody shoulda warned ya

But I finally got my house in California

And it don't snow and it don't rain

Every day looks the same

And before you pack your things let me warn ya

It's the land of milk and honey

But you better have good money

If you're looking for a house in California

If you're looking for a house in California

Well I finally got my house in California
