California - The Pretenders

I don’t want to go back home

There’s nothing to go back to

No one to admit I never found what I ran away to pursue

I’m happy to be away from the grey

Happy to be far away

When I feel the sunshine on my face

It’s enough to make me weep

Served my time in darkness

And spent years asleep

Ah there’s nothing to take me and the sky

The California sky

Oh California, maybe you’ll be the final resting place

I’ll finally be free

Oh California, I was just passing through

I left everything I loved

But I won’t be leaving you

I thought all the places some

I lost my baby, now I don’t want anyone

I don’t want to go back home

Anyway it’s too late

I wanted fame and glory

It just wasn’t my fate

I’m happy to be going nowhere today

In the hills above LA

Oh California, maybe you’ll be the final resting place

Finally be free

Oh California, I was just passing through

I left everything I loved, but I won’t be leaving you

I left everything I loved, but I won’t be leaving you
