After 9 years of living in Los Angeles, I decided to move on. This was the last song I wrote there.
lyrics
"GOODBYE, CA"
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'l 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
So goodbye, California
