Leaving California
Well I'm holding onYeah, I'm holding it all inWhen it all goes wrongAnd you just can't win
I can't stand another sunriseMan, I need a little rainWell, the angels left this cityAnd they won’t be back again
Now I'm leaving California and I'll never look backI took a picture for you, but I painted it blackOne more dreamer, a runaway driveNow there's one less burned-out star in this sky
Leaving California tonight
There's a broken dreamOn Santa Monica and Crescent HeightsYeah, that old moonbeamWell, it's guiding my way tonight
And the lights are in the rearviewAnd the stars up in the skyAnd I don't know where I'm going, babyBut it's time to say goodbye
Now I'm leaving California and I'll never look backI took a picture for you, but I painted it blackOne more dreamer, a runaway driveNow there's one less burned-out star in this sky
Leaving California tonight
I've got a one-way ticket, I'm a rolling stoneI'm a goodbye, kiss it and I'm going, going, goneLike wind, like fire, like rainNo, I'm never coming back again
'Cause I'm leaving California and I'll never look backI took a picture for you, but I painted it blackOne more dreamer, a runaway driveNow there's one less burned-out star in this sky
Leaving California tonight
