Well, I’m holding on, yeah, I'm holding it all in
When it all goes wrong you just can't win
I can’t stand another sunrise and I need a little rain
Well, the angels left this city and they won’t be back again
Now I’m leaving California and I’ll never look back
I took a picture for you but I painted it black
One more dream around a run away drive
Now there's one less burned out star in the sky
Leaving California tonight
There's a broken dream in Santa Monica, crushing night
And that old movie, well, it’s got in my way tonight
And the lights are in the rear view and the stars up in the sky
And I don’t know where I’m going, baby, but it’s time to say goodbye
Now I’m leaving California and I’ll never look back
I took a picture for you but I painted it black
One more dream around a run away drive
Now there's one less burned out star in the sky
Leaving California tonight
I've got a one way ticket, I’m a rolling stone
I’m a goodbye kiss and then I’m going, going, gone
Like wind, like fire, like rain
Know I’m never coming back again
‘Cause I’m leaving California and I’ll never look back
I took a picture for you but I painted it black
One more dream around a run away drive
Now there's one less burned out star in the sky
Leaving California
Now I’m leaving California and I’ll never look back
I took a picture for you but I painted it black
One more dream around a run away drive
Now there's one less burned out star in the sky
Leaving California tonight
