Santa Rosa Chapter I - Matt Costa

I could start by sayin' this

My father was born in El Centro

One of the most southern cities in California

Son of Albert who was stationed around the world in the navy

California has always been a place where people and memories come to settle

They call it the golden state because of the 49ers, the endless sunshine

And the promise of easy living in California

Made it a Mecca for a state of mind

But what makes California a State of Mind as someone Californian

People come from everywhere, become Californians and make it their own

I was raised here and here’s some of my story
