Russ Tolman - Almost Heaven Lyrics

Red sky this morning, the fire's getting closer
Sun through the smoke making everything oranger
The desert's all aglow
It's a strange color as the smoke wraps around
Protecting us from the hot sun
Throwing shadows on the ground
Throwing shadows on the ground

Southern California's almost heaven to me
With perpetual fun in the summer sun
It's the only place to be
It's almost heaven to me

Red boulders and a tiny sliver of blue
Between the ground and the grey
The sand glows orange
A breeze it comes and the birds fly away

Southern California's almost heaven to me
With perpetual fun in the summer sun
It's the only place to be
It's almost heaven to me

You were my sweet thing
And I thought it would always be
But now I'm here in the smoke
With just your memory
With just your memory

Southern California's almost heaven to me
With perpetual fun in the summer sun
It's the only place to be
It's almost heaven to me
