I could stay in California -- stay a little dim
But there's a light bulb on in my head
I might move out east to some college town
Study big thick books -- turn my fortune around
Roll L.A. river roll
and take me to a better world

ooooh ____________
to where the streets are lined with gold

Now I could drive some old car through the desert tonight
Sleep on hotel sheets all soft and white
I will stop at the Mystery Spot, see water run up hill
I know I can make it, I'm convinced I will
Roll L.A. river roll
and take me to a better world

Where the sun shines all day
and the children laugh and play

(Chorus)
(What a world, what a world)
I can see it all in my dreams
(What a world, what a wonderful world)
And I really wanna make that scene
Where the people are nice, and the air is clean
What a beautiful world it must be
I believe I have found the river of life
It flows like blood through my veins
I hear a pounding like a heart beat
I can hear the thunder bringing the diamond rain

I could stay in California, but I'd die in these streets
There's a pearly mansion here in my head
I see a light like the sun where the children run
If I could move these legs, I'd turn my fortunes around
Roll L.A. river roll
Roll over me

To where the streets are lined with gold
and God is on His throne

(Chorus)
