You tried to drown your sorrows
Shouldn't have taught them how to swim
And now you are right back where you began
Winter sky's approaching, all along in the wasteland
Alone is the only way that they let you in
So drink all my wine, cut all my trees
Make love on my beaches, smoke all my weed
I am California, can't you see?
Wherever you roam, you'll always want me
We struggle with our lovers, we don't know what to let in
'Cause the new one's pay for the old one's sins
Blinded by your shadows, faded on your love
You don't know how deep you are, 'til you get pulled back up
So drink all my wine, cut all my trees
Make love on my beaches, smoke all my weed
I am California, can't you see?
Wherever you roam, you'll always want me
So drink all my wine, cut all my trees
Make love on my beaches, smoke all my weed
I am California, can't you see?
Wherever you roam, you'll always want me
Yeah, dig all my gold, soak in my springs
Conquer my mountains if that's what you need
I am California, can't you see?
Wherever you roam, you'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
Yeah, you'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want, want me
Shouldn't have taught them how to swim
And now you are right back where you began
Winter sky's approaching, all along in the wasteland
Alone is the only way that they let you in
So drink all my wine, cut all my trees
Make love on my beaches, smoke all my weed
I am California, can't you see?
Wherever you roam, you'll always want me
We struggle with our lovers, we don't know what to let in
'Cause the new one's pay for the old one's sins
Blinded by your shadows, faded on your love
You don't know how deep you are, 'til you get pulled back up
So drink all my wine, cut all my trees
Make love on my beaches, smoke all my weed
I am California, can't you see?
Wherever you roam, you'll always want me
So drink all my wine, cut all my trees
Make love on my beaches, smoke all my weed
I am California, can't you see?
Wherever you roam, you'll always want me
Yeah, dig all my gold, soak in my springs
Conquer my mountains if that's what you need
I am California, can't you see?
Wherever you roam, you'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want me
Yeah, you'll always want me
You'll always want me
You'll always want, want me

It drags on, too much weed I suppose 
I've seen Craigie live quite a few times and he never disappoints. If you like this song, I'd recommend checking out Dissect the Bird. I think it's brilliant.
Very smooth, I like.
