"California (Night Version)" lyrics

I got blinded by the lights
Of the chorus and the city
I could easily shed my eyes, I could
Easily find the sleep with endless
Drives around the block
Nothing to tell, nothing to hide
You were blinded by the light, I got
Lost in the city

We'll never go back to California
We'll never go back to California

I've been trying to find a smell
It's not all country that I miss
I tried to grab your hand, I was
Holding onto something
A woman stared into my eyes
And there was nothing that she could find
I swore that I'd be nice
If you'd promise we'd be fine

We'll never go back to California
We'll never go back to California

We'll never go back to California
We'll never go back to California

All the lyre energy
I know time is on my side
I got plenty of years to waste
I've got plenty of love to give
Why do I care to spare another
Life dawned by the sea
If you're standing there with me
Then it's where I wanna be
