California

I stretched myself across four states
 New lands, west coast, where my dreams lay
 I trade amber clay roads for the
 Sea foam and the endless sun rays
 'Cause I was never told that I wasn't gonna get
 The things I want the most
 But people always say, "If it hasn't happened yet
 Then maybe you should go"
 Come get me out of California
 No leaves are brown
 I miss the seasons in Missouri
 My dying town
 Thought I'd be cool in California
 I'd make you proud
 To think I almost had it going
 But I let you down

 Too hard to find reasons to stay
 Even true love could not persuade
 'Cause I was never told that I wasn't gonna get
 The things I want the most
 And people always say, "If it hasn't happened yet
 Then maybe you should go"
 Come get me out of California
 No leaves are brown
 I miss the seasons in Missouri
 My dying town
 Thought I'd be cool in California
 I'd make you proud
 To think I almost had it going
 But I let you down

 Come get me out

 I'd make you proud
 To think I almost had it going
