The redtail hawk writes songs across the sky
There's music in the waters flowing by
And you can hear a song each time the wind sighs
In the golden rolling hills of California
In the golden rolling hills of California

It's been so long love since you said goodbye
My cabin's been as lonesome as a cry
There's comfort in the clouds drifting by
In the golden rolling hills of California
In the golden rolling hills of California

A neighbour came today to lend a hand
As I fixed the road as best as I can
It's just something that needs another's hand
In the golden rolling hills of California
In the golden rolling hills of California

The redtail hawk writes songs across the sky
There's music in the waters flowing by
And you can hear a song each time the wind sighs
In the golden rolling hills of California
In the golden rolling hills of California
