So at last Southern California,
sun sets like a long goodbye
I've been dreaming about it for days
but I don't ask why
I can feel it in my bones, it's a careless season
it started just the other day,
and what'd you expect that just for no reason I packed it in and drove away?
now I don't mean to pin this one on you darlin'
it's time I found something good.
when it comes right down, you're just one of many people that never really understood.
So at last Southern California,
sun sets like a long goodbye
I've been dreaming about it for days
but I don't ask why
As I drove into a city painted on the desert
with everything 10 miles high, hard to believe that nobody will see what I see through my blood shot eyes,
now I don't mean to sound so young and naive, but I think we've found something good, and now I can feel me leaving who I used to be as we're driving into Hollywood
So at last Southern California,
sun sets like a long goodbye
I've been dreaming about it for days
but I don't ask why
So at last Southern California,
sun sets enough to get by
I've been dreaming about it for days
and now I know why
I can feel it in my bones, its a careless season,
it started when I woke today
and now that I'm here it's all so very clear
the reason that I drove away
now I don't mean to call so early now darlin',
but the waves just feel so good,
and I'll always come around
and watch the sun go down,
just like I knew you would
So at last Southern California
sun sets like a long goodbye
I've been dreaming about it for days
but I don't ask why
So at last Southern California
sun sets enough to get by
I've been dreaming about it for days
and now I know why
