A California Songtext
von Nighthawks

I saw her standing, by the border
I had no visa, for California
And now we′re hanging, in Tijuana, down in Mexico

A margarita is one dollar
I almost told her that I love her
But the sun went up and I was runnin' late


She said,
Stay, sometime, another day, another while (in Tijuana)
See the warmin′ light comes up
Stay with me, and we'll find another way, another time
Get across that boundary river

And her name was Eloisa, she said
No matter where you are,
The fires always burn on the other side
Of the river

So stay, sometime, another day, another while (in Tijuana)
See the warmin' light comes up
Stay with me, and we′ll find another way, another time
Get across that borderline

Stay sometime, another day, another while
Stay with me, and we′ll find another way, another time
