California

I remember throwing a ball on the steps Til my arm was sore And I had nothing left And I remember walking to Jack's house Havin' Bianco's Pizza Playin' Civil War chess I've never been to California But I'll make it there one day I always laugh when Archie Bunker's on All the crazy things he'd say I remember calling Jennifer Saying I just wanted To hear your voice And I remember staring into her eyes Never wanted to go home But I had no choice I never thought one day a love would come Good enough to replace It's come and gone for me three times now And I've never been the same Later on in life I find myself Knowing what I wanted Never trying to get it I'm working hard and I'm working long And I can't decide if school is Right or wrong I've never been to California But I hear she likes it there I never see the signs of warning come And you know that I don't care I was upset she moved to Boulder And forgot about me Things do change when we get older And the best is yet to be seen The air was cold and the sky was dark When she lost control and I crashed my car I remember standing there I felt relief For the things I have And what they are I've never been to California But I hear she likes it there I never see the signs of warning come And you know that I don't care
