"Leaving California" lyrics

Got a suitcase sittin' by the door like a hundred other times before
And she's cryin'
Another don't wanna say goodbye
Another red eye flight
Feels like dyin'

This is what you get when you've both got dreams
A tear for every mile between LAX to Tennessee

But if I could pack up California
I'd roll up that boulevard
I'd sneak up one night, steal the Hollywood sign
I'd stick it in my front yard
If I could move all the movie sets
And bottle up the beach
She'd have everything she needed right here next to me
And this Tennessee boy wouldn't always have to be
Leaving California

I'd love to see what that west coast sun looks like
Hangin' in a Nashville sky
Shinin' on her
I'd bring that ocean view sushi spot in Malibu
And put it on the corner

Yeah there wouldn't be no more sleepin' alone
And I wouldn't have to hear goodnight on the phone
Gettin' back to her wouldn't take so long

If I could pack up California
I'd roll up that boulevard
I'd sneak up one night, steal the Hollywood sign I'd stick it in my front yard
If I could move all the movie sets
And bottle up the beach
She'd have everything she needed right here next to me
And this Tennessee boy wouldn't always have to be
Leaving California
Leaving California

This goodnight kiss will have to last for a week or two
I wouldn't miss her like I do...

If I could pack up California
I'd roll up that boulevard
I'd sneak up one night, steal the Hollywood sign
I'd stick it in my front yard
I'd move all the movie sets
And bottle up the beach
She'd have everything she needed right here next to me
And this Tennessee boy wouldn't always have to be
Wishin I was taking her with me...
Leaving California
Leaving California
