California Sober

Cashin' in my chips for forgiveness

Trading in my shame for perspective

Tired of being known for my sickness

It didn't work, I'm tryin' something different, I

Healing got me lookin' for freedom

Happiness it used to be fleeting

History was always repeating

Not anymore

I'm California sober

It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over

No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors

That I only just discovered, now I'm California sober

California sober

I

Used to live in fear of always slipping

But living for perfection isn't living, I

I ran a little slower, now I'm tripping, I

A beautiful and magical beginning, I

Healing got me lookin' for freedom

Happiness, it used to be fleeting

History was always repeating

Not anymore

I'm California sober

It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over

No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors

That I only just discovered, now I'm California sober

California Sober

Trading judgment for freedom

Found somethin' new to believe in

Somethin' inside of me screaming

"Don't be so hard on yourself"

Look up, somethin' has shifted

My heavy spirit is lifted

I found myself

I'm California sober

Doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over

No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors

That I only just discovered, now I'm California sober

California sober

I, California sober, I

California sober
