California

I stretched myself across four states

New lands, west coast, where my dreams lay

I trade amber clay roads for the

Sea foam and the endless sun rays

'Cause I was never told that I wasn't gonna get

The things I want the most

But people always say, "If it hasn't happened yet

Then maybe you should go"

Come get me out of California

No leaves are brown

I miss the seasons in Missouri

My dying town

Thought I'd be cool in California

I'd make you proud

To think I almost had it going

But I let you down

Too hard to find reasons to stay

Even true love could not persuade

'Cause I was never told that I wasn't gonna get

The things I want the most

And people always say, "If it hasn't happened yet

Then maybe you should go"

Come get me out of California

No leaves are brown

I miss the seasons in Missouri

My dying town

Thought I'd be cool in California

I'd make you proud

To think I almost had it going

But I let you down

Come get me out

Come get me out

Come get me out

Come get me out

Come get me out of California

No leaves are brown

I miss the seasons in Missouri

My dying town

Thought I'd be cool in California

I'd make you proud

To think I almost had it going

But I let you down
