California Girl - Joe Purdy

She’s walkin' away

She’s makin' a stand

She’s movin' to a new life

She’s movin' with a new man

Well I’ve got news for her

The kind that I can’t say

Because I came to my senses just a little too late

So I’ll watch her drive away

And I’ll wave goodbye

And as her tail lights fade into the night sky

Say hey, don’t you leave me in L.A. alone

Lover, please turn that car around and come back home

New York is such a beautiful city I’m sure

It’s just too far for my California girl

She was so sweet

And she was so kind

So leave it up to me

Not to make up my mind in time

So I guess she’ll be the one

To which no one will ever compare

And I guess she couldn’t wait on me forever, yeah

So I’ll watch her drive away

And I’ll wave goodbye

And as her tail lights fade into the night sky

Say hey, don’t you leave me in L.A. alone

Lover, please turn that car around and come back home

New York is such a beautiful city I’m sure

It’s just too far for my California girl

Do you remember when we used to drive

With the windows down?

You remember how I used to hold you when the lights went out?

Do you remember when we looked at the stars

And listened to the waves come down?

Do you remember the good times

Do you remember the good times

Do you remember the good times

'Cause I remember the good times

Say hey, don’t you leave me in L.A. alone

Lover… please please please please… turn your car around and come back home

New York is such a beautiful city I’m sure

It’s just too far from California

Just too far from California

A little too far from California for me

For me
