California
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I left Shannon, crying in Nashville
She was the best that I've had
She needed so much, more than I could give
That still makes me sad
But California's in my headlights
It's been so long since I've seen stars in the sky
So far, I ain't got it right, but this time I just might
I miss this desert, most in the spring time
I miss a girl I still love
I've missed so many, once in a lifetimes
And sometimes that gets tough
Yeah and sometimes that's still tough
But California's in my headlights
It's been so long since I've seen stars in the sky
So far, I ain't got it right, but this time I just might
In California
Oh baby, you should run
And I should warn you
Hey baby, I still miss some one
