lyrics
When I was younger the called me 'The Bear' They said I was tough, I lived life without a care Now that I'm older, I long to be there Out west where the wind just flies through my hair I'm going to take that westbound journey down that wide open road Back to the place in my past that I once called home Baby I'm coming home, Baby I'm coming home Back to Californ-i-a Baby I'm coming home, Baby I'm coming home Back to Californ-i-a Yea, I know some people think this state's a little weird We got zen politicians; we got pot smokers with beards But from that sweet Socal coastline to those Cayucos bars Well there ain't no place like it underneath the western stars If the rest of them don't like it, well that suits me just fine For the rest of my life, I know that I'm Baby I'm coming home, Baby I'm coming home Back to Californ-i-a Baby I'm coming home, Baby I'm coming home Back to Californ-i-a Baby I'm coming home, Baby I'm coming home Back to Californ-i-a Baby I'm coming home Back to Calfiorn-i-a You know there's nothing else that I'd rather do Then stare at her bright mountains and her sweet Pacific hues I'm gonna pack up my suitcase and jump right in my car Go find those waves at Big Sur and Yosemite stars Well, you know once you've found her you can't turn back around She's a natural beauty on a fertile piece of ground Baby I'm coming home, Baby I'm coming home Back to Californ-i-a Back to Californ-i-a Baby I'm coming home, Baby I'm coming home Back to Californ-i-a Back to Californ-i-a

Ted West - Mr Jimi 03:26
lyrics
Well there's dark eyes On the sunrise Butterflies and Blue skies Play it Jimi play Forget me nots In melting pots Lost between the sandlots Play it Jimi play Tall trees In the cool, cool breeze Through which you gently weave Play it Jimi play Wild Thing Little Wing Your stings they sweetly sing of Queens mistreating kings Jam on You dreaming thing Many have tried but none can claim To take the thrown from him Shady groves And girls in drove Underneath the mangroves Play it Jimi play Well there's frostbite On a cold night You know you'll be alright Play it Jimi play Wild thing Little Wing Your strings they sweetly sing of Queens mistreating kings Jam on You dreaming thing Your string they sweetly sing of Queens mistreating kings Shattered dreams And frightened screams The world's more than it seems Play it Jimi play Hurricanes And heavy, heavy rains Love comes like a freight train Play it Jim play Wild thing Little Wing Your strings they sweetly sing of Queens mistreating kings Jam on You dreaming thing Many have tried but none can claim To take the thrown from him (Repeat chorus)

Ted West - Sweet Soul Survivor 04:33
lyrics
Been waiting for you baby Longer than you know Sing it to me gently Rock me slow Drown me underwater 'Til I let my feelings go Unravel what I've left inside For you and me alone I've forgotten, but I want to know The only thing that i have lost That I still want to own Sweet Soul Survivor Rythmn Revivor Singing from a blue eyed soul that's crying deep inside her Sweet, sweet, sweet Sweet soul survivor I heard that your soul sister Had her back against the wall Wouldn't go to rehab Said she'd rather take the fall Had another relapse Spiked her final vein Took that one last journey On that crazy train Shed her mortal coil Now only you remain Let me hear your love I wanna feel your pain Sweet soul survivor Rhythm reviver Singing with a blue eyed soul That's crying deep inside her Sweet, sweet, sweet Sweet soul survivor I'm still listening baby My ear's against the wall Let me feel your voice I wanna hear your siren's call Sweet soul survivor Rhythm revivor Singing with a blue eyed soul That's Crying deep inside her Go easy on my baby I wasn't born for this Try a little tenderness When you give your kiss Your quality is never ever strained It falls like gentle rain I feel your love I hear your pain Sweet soul survivor Rhythm Reviver Singing from a blue-eyed soul that's crying deep inside her Sweet, sweet, sweet Sweet soul survivor

Ted West - On a Slow Train 05:03
lyrics
I was born a miner with a heart of gold I had a young man's face, but I watched it grow old Now my spirit's winded and my body's grown cold So when I pass away, this is all I got to say Put me on a slow train Take my body back to the town where they know my name On a slow train The kind that drive through the snow and the pouring rain I was born in the mountains back in Tennesee Worked in a West Virginia coal mine ever since I was sixteen Now my friends and family's back in Tennessee Living in the town where they'll bury me Put me on a slow train Take my body back to the town where they know my name On a slow train The kind that drive through the snow and the pouring rain On a Slow Train Now don't put me on no fast train or no midnight express Just put me in the box car of a freight train I guess You let the train leave the station then you watch it head west Until they take me to the place where m soul can rest Put me on a slow train Take my body back to the town where they know my name On a slow train The kind that drive through the snow and the pouring rain Now don't put me on no fast train or no midnight express Just put me in the box car of a freight train I guess You watch the train leave the station then you watch it head west Until they place me 'neath that tombstone that reads Ted West Put me on a slow train Take my body back to the town where they know my name On a slow train The kind that drive through the snow and the pouring rain
