I'm gonna leave this desert town
For California
The people there just seem more important
I don't have much of anything
But a big heart and this stupid dream
For once, I'd like to feel important

And hey, I could leave in a day
But I just can't wait until I do

But it wasn't hard to choose
The right thing to do
And the truth is I thought it over
Time for something new

I can't move
I'm stuck in traffic
My cough hurts from the smog that caused it
But maybe today I'll see a star

And, hey, I could leave in a aday
But I just can't wait until I do

El Paso's a memory
It's way too hard for me
That life is a memory

I said, it's way too hard for me
