Lyrics for South California Purples

Cloudy every morning Sun don't never shine Cloudy every morning Sun don't ever shine Since I lost my baby I been losing my mind I thought this was a warm place I must be in the wrong place Thought this was a warm place I must be in the wrong place And I don't know where I'm going Since my lover left me Never no smile on my face I am he is you are he is you are me and we are all together, woah woah Buddy, this ain't LA I've travelled such a long way Buddy, this ain't LA I've travelled such a long way And I still don't know where I'm going But without my baby I better not stay I better not stay, no ow woah no
