lyrics

The town gets shitty
cause the good kids go
and you can't get better
if you don't get old

West Virginia said to me
there's so many places
that I may never see

West Virginia said to me
they shout when I'm walking here
but at least they know it's me

West Virginia said to me

The night gets colder
but the day gets by
and you can't get sober
if you don't get high

Santa Ana said to me
there's so many mountains
that I may never see

Santa Ana said to me
you're right with your walkin, kid
cause away's the way to be

Santa Ana said to me

The highway's thirty
but the highway's one
and you're not yet further
if you're not yet gone

California said to me
it's all that you've wanted here
but it's all you'll ever see

California said to me
you're more than you think you are
but it's all you'll ever be

California said to me
