Lyrics
GOODBYE CALIFORNIA GIRL
VERSE 1:
IN THE HEAT OF A YOUNG MAN'S DREAM
SHE TOSSES HER HAIR LAUGHING AS SHE RUNS
HEY BABY, PEACHES AND CREAM
DISAPPEAR INTO THE SETTING SUN
VERSE 2:
WHY DID I THINK I COULD HOLD HER THERE
SHE'S AS ELUSIVE AS THE SUMMER BREEZE
WHAT MADE ME THINK THAT SHE MIGHT CARE
SHE WAS ALWAYS ONLY OUT OF REACH
CHORUS:
GOODBYE CALIFORNIA GIRL
YOU WERE THE DREAM THAT WILL NEVER COME TRUE
GOODBYE CALIFORNIA GIRL
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH I WANTED YOU
VERSE 3:
FELT THE WARMTH OF HER RISING SUN
BUT I WAS BLINDED BY HER SHINING LIGHT
I MUST ASMIT THAT THE TIME HAS COME
TO TURN AND SLIP INTO THAT COMING NIGHT
REPEAT CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
REPEAT SECOND HALF OF VERSE 3
REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE
