Five For Fighting

California Justice

Five For Fighting


Early one morning at county line 
The swells 4-6 approaching 9 
The barrel of my life hit the Malibu Sky 
A Golden State Pipe - Conchita was mine 

Suddenly a local on a Boogie in a Thong 
Cut in on my line - My Barrel was gone 
Her Pepperdine Stud screamed "Val that's what you get" 
I shot him with a gun behind Neptune's Net. 

Killed a man I don't know what the fuss is 
I'm just looking for some California Justice... 

Took off in the Mustang for the 395 
Double Double in Mohave - Took a left at Lone Pine 
I Powered up the top of Mt Whitney 
They may not have a Jamba Juice but here they'll never get me... 

While working my tan looked down the cliff to see 
A line of Black and Whites Dropped by a yellow Jersey 
Called Uncle Arnie said, "What's going on 
He said, "New Sheriff in town...Name's Lance Armstrong" 

Killed a man I don't know what the fuss is 
I'm just looking for some California justice 

Hired a fixer to keep things blurry 
Sent the shuttle to space for the perfect jury 
The judge dropped the bar and to the court decreed 
You can lay down all you like 
Tell me what you see 

I'm free 
Heading up the Truckee River 
To catch me a brown though the water makes me shiver 
Mistake I made was crossing the border 
Casinos for me are cooked and made to order 

I didn't intend to kill the dealer last night 
But I doubled down to 20 - His 16 pulled a 5 
Now I'm heading back to Cali bound for TAHOE CITY... 

Killed a man I don't know what the fuss is 
I'm just looking for some California justice 

Moral of the story keep the straight and narrow 
Your eyes on the ball 
Your hands off the sparrow 
Every country needs one broken arrow 
At least we gave you Ronnie Reagan, Sonny & Chero 

I'll meet you down behind Neptune's Net 
Catch my honey in the thong 
Do you get it yet? 
We'll catch barrels every day 
I'm just surfing U.S.A.
