pat green - california lyrics

hello, california
sure is strange to be here today
what s a boy from down in austin
doing in a city of angels anyway

so won t you come on out here with me
find out what you can and cannot see
maybe gain a new perspective
why we re so infected by our dreams

chorus
yeah baby, i ll be out here dreaming
thinking about the life we could have
you re back home in texas
i m stranded in los angeles
wondering when is the next time i get to hold you
i just want to hold you

it s the sweetest kind of poison
tickle you and take away your faith
whiskey for a lifetime
wreck your soul with the smallest little taste

chorus

i am just a guitar man who fell in love with you
times are good or bad, i take them all the same
you could have some 9 to 5 man coming home to take your hand
you know he s never gonna do

is this the life i ve dreamed of
or is this just the way it all went down
but damn right i sure am happy
a crazy piece of life i have found

chorus
