"Why I Came to California" 是由Don Henley 演唱的一首歌曲，詞曲由 Don Henley 和 Glenn Frey 創作。以下是這首歌的歌詞：
Verse 1:
I woke up this mornin'
Headachy and tired
Stayed in my room all day
Feelin' like I'd been hit
Wondering if I'd be back
In this town again tonight
Chorus:
Why I came to California
I don't know, I don't know
It's all the same to me
I keep driving, keep driving
Oh, why I came to California
Verse 2:
Seen a few sunsets
And a few more sunrises
Been to a few bars and a few more parties
But I ain't find what I'm looking for
Just more of the same all over again
Chorus:
Why I came to California
I don't know, I don't know
It's all the same to me
I keep driving, keep driving
Oh, why I came to California
Bridge:
Yeah, it's all beautiful people everywhere you look
But there's a hole in the middle of the party
Where the heart is
Yeah, I know where it is, but it ain't here
Chorus:
Why I came to California
I don't know, I don't know
It's all the same to me
I keep driving, keep driving
Oh, why I came to California
Why I came to California…
