Goodbye California

As I drive all over Los Angeles
The hot wind blows my hair to frizz
I'm sweating in my homemade dress and tights
Packed my life into my Subaru
I wish my friends were coming too
They're all that I regret to leave behind

Singing, "Goodbye California, you were always fair to me"
Oh, I tried so hard to love you, and I tried so hard to be
As deserving as the others, laying kisses at your feet
Oh, goodbye California, you were always fair to me

And a moon the size of Hertfordshire
Rises above the plains of Utah
In the roadside inn, I drink alone
And the whiskey tastes a bit like him
A burn of all that might have been
Gets caught just like a song inside my throat

Singing, "Goodbye California, you were always fair to me"
Oh, I tried so hard to love you, and I tried so hard to be
As deserving as the others, laying kisses at your feet
Oh, goodbye California, you were always fair to me

And now it's time for promises
We say we'll talk, we'll visit, and we mean it
But I know the way it goes
I will start to disappear softly at first
Like rain and tears, eventually
My ghost will walk this town alone
Somebody you used to know

Singing, "Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye"
"Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye"
"Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye"
Singing, "Goodbye California, you were always fair to me"
Oh, I tried so hard to love you, and I tried so hard to be
As deserving as the others, laying kisses at your feet
Oh, goodbye California, you were always fair to me
Goodbye California, you were always fair to me
