Met you out on the west coast Fell in love in frisco and brought you home You said you loved this small town We tried to put some roots down of our own But the city lights burned so bright in your memory Guess they were always callin' you away from me You should be good to go I topped it up i checked the oil There's a map on the dash But i guess you know your way And i have to laugh i guess As you point your el dorado west You changed my life, you changed your name But you never changed your california plates Bet you miss the beaches Warm ocean breezes rollin' in But i'll miss the cool nights Nothin' but the firelight on your skin Girl, dry your eyes, i know you tried to make it work But in your heart you're still a california girl And i have to laugh i guess As you point your el dorado west You changed my life, you changed your name But you never changed your california paltes No, you never changed your california plates 2006 20
