Lyrics Merle Haggard – It’s Cold In California

There’s a boy here in old California
Who I know like I know myself
And he’s livin’ in hell but he’s takin’ it well
And it’s cold in California tonight

It’s cloudy in California this evening
This old jet plane soon will be leavin’
When these bight shiny wings ‘neath the shiny moonlight
It’ll be cold in California tonight

She’ll be drinkin’ her first cup of coffee
And she’ll be talkin’ to the people in flight
And I knew from the start that she’d break my heart
Oh, it’s cold in California tonight

Though the weather is fine the chill set is mine
And it’s cold in California tonight
Lord, it’s cold in California tonight
