lyrics

Hey, how have you been?
It’s been a while since we’ve seen you ‘round these parts.
You should know, your brother ran off again.
Something ‘bout a girl that broke his heart.

You’ll find the town hasn’t changed.
A few came, a few died, it’s all the same.
We’re still seeking our fortune, seeking our fame,
Here on these wide western plains.

So welcome back friend to our little mining town.
The grass is all dead but we won’t let it bring us down.
The sun’s shining bright – a little hot for my taste,
But we won’t let this chance go to waste.

Did you attend, to your business back home?
Order your affairs and hug your mom?
I see you couldn’t convince your love to follow you west.
Don’t be too sad, she’s just like the rest.

You won’t believe what we’ve found since you left.
So much gold, that we must be blessed.
It might be hard to find food, and the heat makes me ache.
But we will never let our spirit break.

So welcome back friend to our little mining town.
The grass is all dead but we won’t let it bring us down.
The sun’s shining bright – a little hot for my taste,
But we won’t let this chance go to waste.

Oh the stars are shining so bright over California
The gold is calling my name in California
The same call that brought our fathers to this nation’s bringing me further still
And I know that I’ve found my home in California

So welcome back friend to our little mining town.
The grass is all dead but we won’t let it bring us down.
The sun’s shining bright – a little hot for my taste,
But we won’t let this chance go to waste.
