Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the word does your company take me for
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry was sayin' baby watcha' gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal 45
Just another way to survive
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
She's a lover, baby and a fighter
Shoulda' seen it comin' when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
The day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
Who knew the other side of you
Who knew what others died to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
To true to say say say
Push the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
Nort Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota'
Down in the badlands she was saving the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh, gone too fast
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess; I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
Hi,
Love this song. Hey, is it just me or is Dani the girl who's singing songs under the marquee in By the Way? It's probably just my general ignorance but oh well.
RoroDude
I don't understand, what is so freaking great about this song? When I first heard it I thought it'd get no attention, I mean it doesn't suck or rock, but good publicity counts for more than the actual song.

Aerosmith_rulez...you listen to Aerosmith ...obviously you seem to like incredibly overrated, overplayed bands, and not actually talented bands like the Peppers
e the song - own almost every album they;ve ever made, - but sometimes i dont understand things - what is this song about?!? can anybody please help me out here? thanx!
good song - i get that the girl in the song "dani california" has been portrayed in other songs , like californication, and by the way - but i wonder: who does anthony think of so much he puts her in one or 2 songs on every album for the last 5 years? i wonder who it could be.....

vocal If you think they are so original and its a good song I'll direct you towards Tom Petty's - Mary Janes Last Dance. Sorry, same beat, same guitar, just different lyrics.
