On my way to sunny California
On my way to spend another sunny day
Have you ever been south of Monterey
Veracas carve the coastline
And the chaparral flows to the sea
'Neath waves of golden sunshine
And have you ever been north of Morro Bay
The south coast plows the sea
And the people there are of the breed
That need electricity (On my way)
Water (Water), water (Water)
Get yourself in the cool, clear water
And the sun shines brightly down on Penny's Place
(The sun shines brightly down on the bay)
The air's so clean that it takes your mind away
(Takes your mind away, takes your mind away)
Have you ever been down Salinas way
Where Steinbeck found the valley
And he wrote about it the way it was
In his travelin's with Charley
And have you ever walked down through the sycamores
Where the farmhouse used to be
Where the Monarch Autumn journey ends
On a windswept cypress tree
Water (Water), water (Water)
Cool cascades of the cool, clear water
And the Sundance final scene sets the hills ablaze
(The sunshine sets the hills all ablaze)
Horizon edges quick up the mountains way
(Up the mountains way, up the mountains way)
Now have you ever been to a festival
The Big Sur Congregation
Where Country Joe would do his show
And he'd sing about liberty
And the people there in the open air
Are one big family
Yeah, the people there love to sing and share
Their new found liberty, ha
