California

Teeth stained red from a dark cabernet

cs I watched the sun fade along Half Moon Bay

California, still holding your hand

Farmland, fruit stands, and cows by the sea

Highway 1 curves around like the rings of a tree

California, still holding your hand

Please remember

Don't you dare forget

Please remember

Don't you dare forget

I can't remember what you even look like

But I think I may have saw you in a dream last night

California, still holding your hand

One too many lead me back on the road

It took me four states and one day to drive back home

California, still holding your hand

Please remember

Don't you dare forget

Please remember

Don't you dare forget

Like a trowel that turns an orchard into ashes and dust

Trees and leaves are tended to decay and rust

California, still holding your hand

Somewhere deep down there, I wish you the best

Inside me somewhere, I wish you happiness

California, still holding your hand

Please remember

Don't you dare forget

Please remember

Don't you dare forget
