Memories

Well I remember

Drivin' around

Trying to think of each and every way that I could maybe get my ass up out this town

And I remember

It wasn't long ago

I used to tell my momma "Stop with the yelling" and "No job is why I'm this world"

And I remember sitting outside my school in the back of Zach's car blowing smoke

Telling all of my friends that one day we ain't gonna be broke

But I guess dreams come true because now

I'm writing this by the ocean somehow

Well I was so low

But now I'm high in California

Well I was so low

But now I'm getting high in California

I was so low, low, low, low, low

But now

Now I'm getting high in California

Well I remember

Everyone telling me it would be too hard

But now my artists turned to friends and Mercy Street turned to Sunset Boulevard

And I remember walking down the train tracks

Looking up towards the stars saying: Get us out of here

As we passed around a bottle full of jack

And I remember coming home at night hoping I don't smell like smoke

Telling my momma "Don't worry one day we ain't gonna be broke

Imma pay the bills with these six strings just watch me"

Now I'm on a roll and nobody can stop me

Well I was so low

But now I'm high in California

Well I was so low

But now I'm getting high in California

I was so low, low, low, low, low

But now

Now I'm getting high in California

I'm running 'til I'm dead

I will never slow down

The voice inside my head

Is telling me to go now

Never look back

Well I was so low

But now I'm high in California

Well I was so low

But now I'm getting high in California

I was so low, low, low, low, low

But now

Now I'm getting high in California

Now I'm getting high because

I was so low

But now I'm getting high in California

Well I was so low

But now I'm getting high in California

Well I was so low, low, low, low, low

But now

Oh, now I'm getting high in California
