California

So...isn't it funny how your best ideas either come as you are standing in the shower, or as you are almost about to fall asleep. Well, mine do. And most times I forget about them pretty quick , only remembering "I had a great idea...although I can't recall what it was". Well, I was in the process of washing my hair when I started humming, then singing. Then...about three minutes later, I had a song. However, it was one of those songs that sticks with you because it strikes a nerve and really hits you hard.  This is a very personal lyric for me. I think everyone can relate to having a special connection with someone and losing them. But if life were fair, it wouldn't be as exciting.

I'm seeing someone new
Yeah he's nice
It's only been a few months
But he's got that look in his eyes

He started talking yesterday
About futures and kids
When he asked what I thought
I fought the urge to tell him

I wanna go to California
And bring you home
Yeah you said you wanted freedom
But baby we both know
There's nothing left in California
Except that job that you hate
I wanna come to California
So what do ya say?

We can talk about the weather
And that local sports team
Eventually we'll get around
To our hopes and dreams

You've been eyeballin'
A little farm in Tennessee
And it's just the right size
To raise a family

So I'm gonna come to California
And bring you home
Yeah you wanted your freedom
But baby we both know
There's nothing left in California
Except that job that you hate
I'm gonna come to California
What do you say?

I know that you're thinking
That this is crazy
Yeah it'll be tough
But just trust me baby

I'm gonna come to California
And bring you back home
Sure you wanted freedom
But we both know
There's nothing left in California
Except that job you hate
I'm gonna come to California
What do you say?

Honey come back from California
What do you say?
