"Goodbye California" lyrics

As I drive out of 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
