hello california
sure is strange to be here today
what?s a boy from down in austin
doin? in the 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
of why were so infected by our dreams
and ba - by ill be out here dreaming
and thinking about the life we could have
yeah but your back home in texas
and im a wonderin when?s the next time i get to hold you
i just wanna hold you
its the sweetest kind of poison
tickle you and take away your faith
whiskey for a lifetime
wreck your soul in the smallest little taste
Chorus 2
yeah and ba - by i?ll be out here dreamin?
and thinkin about the life that we could have
but im a stranded in los angeles
wondering when?s the next time i get to hold ya
i just wanna hold you
i am just a guitar man that fell in love with you
times are good and bad i take all the same
you could have some nine to five man comin home to take your hand
you know he?s never gonna do
is this the life i dreamed of
or is it just the way it all went down
damn right i sure am happy
of the crazy piece of life that i have found
yeah and ba - by i?ll be out here dreamin?
and thinkin about the life that we could have
yeah but your back home in texas
and i?m stranded in los angeles
wondering when?s the next time i get to hold ya
i just wanna hold you
-thanks, mammy, imofle
