Tomorrow I might be in California, sittin' on the beach and drinkin' wine Watch the sun go down across the water, close my eyes and slowly lose my mind Chorus: And you say that you are sorry and you say that love is blind Honey I don’t think your love was true And you say I’m gonna’ miss you and you’ll be there on my mind But I don’t think I’ll be thinkin', I don’t think I’ll be thinkin’, I don’t think I’ll be thinkin’ About you Tomorrow I might be in Oklahoma, hit the trails and sleep beneath the stars Or I might slide on over to Chicago, listen to the blues bands in the bars (Chorus) Tomorrow I might be in my apartment, the one we shared together for a time But where I am, it really doesn’t matter, 'cause I’ll go out, if only of my mind (Chorus) Tomorrow I might be in California...
