California Plates

met you out on the west coast

fell in love in frisco and brought you home

you said you loved this small town

we tried to put some roots down of our own

but the city lights burned so bright in your memory

guess they were always callin' you away from me

you should be good to go

i topped it up i checked the oil

there's a map on the dash

but i guess you know your way

and i have to laugh i guess

as you point your el dorado west

you changed my life, you changed your name

but you never changed your california plates

bet you miss the beaches

warm ocean breezes rollin' in

but i'll miss the cool nights

nothin' but the firelight on your skin

girl, dry your eyes, i know you tried to make it work

but in your heart you're still a california girl

and i have to laugh i guess

as you point your el dorado west

you changed my life, you changed your name

but you never changed your california paltes

no, you never changed your california plates
