Southern California

You always said someday you'd go to live in Southern California
 And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee
 You always talked about the better days in Southern California
 But if you'll stay in Tennessee, I promise there'll be better days with me
 It's not that I don't love you
 But I hear the call from Southern California
 There's something I can't find in Tennessee
 Silver screens and limousines
 They wait for me in Southern California
 Though you've been so good to me
 The time has come you'll have to set me free
 Tomorrow when you leave
 You'll take my heart to Southern California
 But just remember I'll be here
 To keep your heart with me until we see

 Well, it's been five years, an' I guess I've cried a million tears
 Lookin' out the window of this little room
 Right over that flashin' neon sign that says, "Bar"
 It's almost midnight, an' time to go downstairs and go to work
 I wonder how he's doin' in Tennessee?
 Well, here I sit by the window of this big old lonely mansion
 Lookin' out over the smokies and on in everything I can see
 Oh, I guess by now, she's found what she was lookin' for
 And as I look at this old faded photograph of the girl that I still love
 I wonder if she ever thinks of me
 But the weather's good in Southern California
