California

Hello California, sure is strange to be here today

What's a boy from down in Austin doin' in a city of angels anyway?

So won't you come on out here with me?

Find out what you can and cannot see

Maybe gain a new perspective, why we're so affected by our dreams

Yeah, and, baby, I'll be out here dreamin'

And thinkin' about the life we could have

Yeah, but you're back home in Texas

And I'm wonderin' when's the next the next time I get to hold you

I just wanna hold you

It's the sweetest kind of poison, tickle you and take away your faith

Whiskey for a lifetime, wreck your soul with the smallest little taste

Yeah, and, baby, I'll be out here dreamin'

And thinkin' about the life we could have

But I'm stranded in Los Angeles

Wonderin' when's the next the next time I get to hold you

I just wanna hold you

(Yeah)

I am just a guitar man who fell in love with you

Times are good or bad, I take 'em all the same

You could have some 9-to-5 man, comin' home and take your hand

You know he's never gonna do

Is this the life I dreamed of?

Or is this just the way it all went down?

But, damn right, I sure am happy

Crazy piece of life that I have found

Yeah, and, baby, I'll be out here dreamin'

And thinkin' about the life we could have

Yeah, but you're back home in Texas

And I'm stranded in Los Angeles

Wonderin' when's the next the next time I get to hold you

I just wanna hold you
