A New California

The Mojave's sunrise Reminds me of those eyes Alight with a fire Brighter than the sun My comforts my weapon My aim is true As I wander the desert All I can think is you The wastelands a lonely place Out here in these desert wastes Protecting the people But can you please, protect my heart A New California My heart yearns for you A New California With dedication true A New California For me, and for you My baby is back home safe Far away from this lonely place Our home back west Where we will meet again Now baby don't cry Cause when I look deep in those eyes I see our future Far away from here I'll be home real soon I'll come walking at noon I'll hold onto you real tight And I'll hold you through the night A New California My heart yearns for you A New California With dedication true A New California For me, and for you Even in those happy days In my heart there will still be a place The Mojave has become a piece of my soul
