But if you don't or if you do you'll find yourself somewhere and you won't have a clue
I met you in Palestine
The heart break high school beauty queen
You were 21 I was 18
Hey you had my heart when I heard you sing
Never thought I'd see you again
Well here I am just by coincidence
Texas, Arkansas
California, here we are
How ever long, how ever far
California, here we are
We came here to be unique
but when we look around we see
Different versions of ourselves
Sippin' tea with someone else
This promise land was broken and the words that had been spoken can't be taken back so we'll stay here awhile
Chorus
I reckon I will go back home eventually but I don't know
How long it takes to get things done
You had a plan now you've got none
You wonder what you do back there
and wonder what you're doing here
Sometimes you leave just so you can't go back
Chorus
The mocking birds are squawking words in minor 3rds about our major flaws
Dog wood and the pecan trees are losing leaves conceding one dream
Soo
Chorus (x2)
Californiaa, Californiaaa, Californiaaaaaa, here we are
