Ran away from home when I was seventeen To be with you on the California coast Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina Out on, out on the California coast Don't think that I'm ungrateful And don't look so morose Adios, adios We never really made it baby But we came pretty close Adios, adios Going up north where the hills are winter green I got to leave you on the California coast Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner Than, than the California Coast Our dreams of endless summer Were just too grandiose Adios, adios And I miss the blood red sunset But I miss you the most Adios, adios Adios, adios Adios, adios
