Story behind the song
I don't know about you, but anytime I've moved from an area I've spent a lot of time in and made a lot of friends I have a list of numbers and adresses and I promise I'll keep in touch with, and really mean to.
But as time slips by it seems as if the list dwindles down due to people moving,couples breaking up, deaths, ect.
One evening I was having a phone session to friends in S. Cal.where I had lived for years. After a number of unsuccesful attempts I turned to someone in the room and asked if Cal.had finally fallen into the ocean. Imediately the lightbulb goes off overhead and a song is born.
Lyrics
CALIFORNIA FELL
What became of you? I looked hi, you moved
You were shrewd,you knew I'd search around
But I see what went down,you grew up and left town
All I have are pictures,postcards and a prayer
CALIFORNIA FELL into the ocean today
Her memories still riding on a wave
CALIFORNIA FELL into the ocean today
And I was feeling fine 'till CALIFIRNIA FELL
'Tho my head survived,It's my soul that died
It's a ride no board affords support
It's a sport, It's wild, a unique lifestyle
Now I have,at least, the beast they call "The East"
CALIFORNIA FELL........
And tho it's just a state of mind
I'm proud to say it was a state of mine
What became of you? You looked high,I moved
I was shrewd I knew you'd search around
But I see it was time,no intent, no crime
All I have are pictures, postcards and a prayer
CALIFORNIA FELL into the ocean today
The surfing songs are all we seemed to save
CALIFORNIA FELL into the ocean today
And I was feeling fine 'till CALIFORNIA FELL
