California
Out at the bar she's the rooms brightest star
And the camera loves her to death
She swears like a sailor the boys try to make her
Don't know she's doomed by excess
She said come to the city my God it's a pity
The distance between me and you
We'll get lost and get found and we'll shut down the town
We'll live in a world built for two
Hold on
The sun also rises its true
Hold on
The sun it will rise just for you
But her days turned to nights
And those nights wouldn't end
She said I'm strung out I'm struggling
I'm trying she must be she's tired
And just can't pretend
And across this great divide
She's the one in whom I confide
Yeah I'm strung out I'm struggling
I'm trying but trust me this feeling
Something has died
Hold on
The sun also rises its true
Hold on
The sun it will rise just for you
Oh Come to California
Come leave that city behind
That New York sky it'll eat you alive
Come leave that city behind
Last thing she told me my god it's so lonely
I'm going away for awhile
She said she'd write me a letter so I won't forget her
She's going away for awhile
Oh Come to California
Come leave that city behind
That New York sky it'll eat you alive
Come leave that city behind
