It smells like hot whiskey In a cold, cold room You started to miss me A bit too soon I don't leave 'til sunrise Come sit beside me on this bed Give me your troubles Give me your number And I'll call you while I'm gone It's a long way A long way to California It's a long way A long way from your side It's a long way A long long way to California And the farther I get from you The harder it gets to enjoy the ride There's some kinda mystery Behind your eyes It starts with hello And stays through goodbye I don't need you to fix me Come sit beside me on this bed Give me your troubles Give me your number And I'll call you while I'm gone It's a long way A long way to California It's a long way A long, long way from your side It's a long way A long way to California And the farther I get from you The harder it gets to enjoy the ride It smells like hot whiskey In a cold, cold room You started to miss me A bit too soon I don't need you to fix me Come sit beside me on this bed Give me your troubles Give me your number And I'll call you while I'm gone
