Smokey room and a thin blue light
Her arms were pale as white
Tryin' to out-last the night
Howlin' at the moon
Living in the Canyon Inn
Hangdown Hanna and Whis-key Jim
Dirty jeans and mud-slide hymns
That all began with "Soon"
So Adios to Cali-forn-ia
Nothing to do but turn a-round
I always thought there's someone comin' for ya
Only way you'd leave this town
(repeat intro riff)
Pasadena in the rain
Eatin' donuts and readin' Twain
How much longer can my brain
Set itself on fire?
You said "That's it for me"
Have a little faith, it might set you free
But your faith's no good, you see
For me and my des-ire
So Adios to Cali-forn-ia
Nothing to do but turn a-round
I always thought there's someone comin' for ya
Only way you'd leave this town
(solo)
Two cigarettes from the package gone
You must have thought about it just that long
I never knew you were so strong
I guess I never will
So Adios to Cali-forn-ia
Nothing to do but turn a-round
I always knew there's someone comin' for ya
Only way you'd leave this town
Only way you'd leave this town
