california here i come
i'm keeping up with the sun
i sort of like it here but
oh hell the truth be told
i'm the only one

i could have been a better man
i could have tried
i could have had a better plan
and gone out in style
i could always get aroud
when times were high

no one ever comes around
people go for bigger towns
they take a look and talk a while
and the truth be told
they always hit the road

i could have been a better man
i could have tried
i could have had a better plan
and gone out in style
i could always get around
when times were high

i could have been a better man
i could have tried
in never ever ever land
my stakes are high
and i've been lonely as hell
