Goodbye L.A.
Goodbye L.A.
I never thought I'd be the one here waiting
I never saw the signs
California in the rear-view mirror this time
everybody's got their own good reasons
And I've yet to see mine
swimming circles round the same old story you find
Goodbye L.A.
Summertime sun came just a little too late
Goodbye L.A.
Roll the windows down as we drift away
Come on and drift away, all right
In time you'll find
that everything's different but it feels the same
In time you'll find
your hearts just not ready just to walk away
Goodbye L.A.
Goodbye L.A.
Goodbye L.A.
Goodbye L.A.
Summertime sun came a little too late
Goodbye L.A.
roll the windows down as we drift away
oh, oh, come on and drift away, all right
(Goodbye L.A.) and we'll all just drift away
(Goodbye L.A.) all just drift away, just drift away
(Goodbye L.A.)oh, oh, all right, and we'll all just drift away
(Goodbye L.A.) yeah eh, all just drift away
(Goodbye L.A.)
