Goodbye California
after 9 long years of
playing by your rules
You'd think I'd have a clue
I might miss the ocean if
I cared to make that
fifteen minute drive
But I hardly made the time
I'll be on my way gone today
In a way I always knew
this day would come
When you don't belong
then move along
Try to get back all the years
you may have lost
Hey you might be better off
Careful what you wish for
you might suffer from the moment
you arrive
If you don't watch out for the lies
And pay your parking meters and
10 dollars for a beer at most the bars
With all them fancy cars
I'll be on my way gone today
In a way I always knew
this day would come
When you don't belong
then move along
Try to get back all the years
you may have lost
Hey you might be better off
On your own lost
When you're lost call
Goodbye California
I guess a memory of
you will have to do
From a foreign point of view
And to the friends that I believe in
now I understand why
you can't come along
but that's another song
Goodbye California
Goodbye California
Goodbye California
Goodbye California
