Take a long drive with me

On California one, On California one

Take a long drive with me

On California one, On California one

And the road a-winding goes

From golden gate to roaring cliff-side

And the light is softly low as our hearts become sweetly untied

Beneath the sun of California one

Take a long dram with me
D
Of California wine, of California wine
Em
Take a long dram with me

Of California wine, of California wine
CHORUS
And the wine it tastes so sweet

As we lay our eyes to wander
And the sky, it stretches deep
GmD
Will we rest our heads to slumber
C
Beneath the vines of California wine?
