[Intro]
Ooh

Woke up this mornin' all alone
I got a ringin' in my head
I couldn't take it anymore today
She left me here for dead
Ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh

[Verse 1]
And it don't come as no surprise
I shoulda known it from the start
The lights are faded and I can't deny
This place ain't got no heart
Oh, if you can hear me tonight
If you can hear me tonight

[Chorus]
You'll have to carry me back from Cali
I'm tired and broken and I lost my way
You'll have to carry me back to where I belong
You'll have to carry me back from Cali
I don't want money, I don't need no fame
You'll have to carry me back to where I belong
[Verse 2]
I got to leave this angel city
But I can't do it by myself, oh, yeah
So if you please, mama, can you save me
Before I blow this life to hell?
Oh, ah

[Solo]

[Bridge]
Ooh, lord
Mama, grab me by the feet and just drag me home

[Chorus]
You'll have to carry me back from Cali
I don't care if you think I'm to blame
You'll have to carry me back to where I belong
You'll have to carry me back from Cali
The angel city where the devils play
You'll have to carry me back to where I belong

[Outro]
Yeah
If you can hear me tonight
If you can hear me tonight
If you can hear me tonight
If you can hear me tonight
I've lost my way, I'm so alone
And all I want is to come home
Oh, oh, oh, aw
