about
Remember that kid in high school who kept insisting that as soon as he got a car and little bit of money he was heading for California and not looking back? Well, this song is about that kid who grew up in California.
lyrics
Where do the kids from California go
When they've grown so tired of their homes?
Everything is fake and I can't get no rest.
We'll be out of here if it's on our last breathe.
All the lights up on the boulevard.
Only shine their bulbs on bullshit stars.
North or south now my dear
which was should we steer?
Spoken under breath "anywhere but here."
Maybe we could get a house together
in the middle of a sea of trees
and you could sell coffee to the trucking men
and chat away with local police
I could get a job in town fixing houses
patching walls and mending holes
We could change our names and buy new clothes
and talk like them so nobody would know
And then a man came on the radio and said
"California, where else would you rather be?"
Anywhere in the whole wide world
Anywhere in the whole wide world
Anywhere in the whole wide world
Anywhere in the whole wide world
When they've grown so tired of their homes?
Everything is fake and I can't get no rest.
We'll be out of here if it's on our last breathe.
All the lights up on the boulevard.
Only shine their bulbs on bullshit stars.
North or south now my dear
which was should we steer?
Spoken under breath "anywhere but here."
Maybe we could get a house together
in the middle of a sea of trees
and you could sell coffee to the trucking men
and chat away with local police
I could get a job in town fixing houses
patching walls and mending holes
We could change our names and buy new clothes
and talk like them so nobody would know
And then a man came on the radio and said
"California, where else would you rather be?"
Anywhere in the whole wide world
Anywhere in the whole wide world
Anywhere in the whole wide world
Anywhere in the whole wide world
