Southern Gentlemen and California Girls - Houston Keen

It's always Southern California in my head Where summer never ends (Summer never ends) Wherever I go, you come with me I think of you and it puts me at ease Sun on my face and the sand on my feet There is no other place I'd rather be So, I'm gone but soon I'll be home The road is calling me Another show, another song left to sing so So, it might be a while 'til I'll see you, Cali It's always Southern California in my head Where summer never ends, summer never ends It's always Southern California in my head Where summer never ends, summer never ends High daydreams, I ignite a match up Smilin', laughin', coolin' out, relaxin' From sunrise to sunset we dancin' Waves crash, waters splash, summer vibes reaction We walk the shore forever I don't think it ever ends Nowhere better so these thoughts I remember I'm confined to my mind till I see you again It's always Southern California in my head Where summer never ends, summer never ends It's always Southern California in my head Where summer never ends, summer never ends C-A-L-I am always goin' back C-A-L-I am always goin' back C-A-L-I am always goin' back C-A-L-I am always goin' back It's always Southern California in my head Where summer never ends It's always Southern California in my head Where summer never ends, summer never ends It's always Southern California in my head Where summer never ends, summer never ends It's always (It's always) California (California) It's always (It's always) California (It's always 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 you see Well, it's been five years And 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 And 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

Uncertain of this path I've been led down The heavens are loud yet I'm lost somehow Patiently waiting for the next excuse On why I can't do what I'm used to doing I'm grasping onto what's left of me Alas hopeful path narrowed into a lonely street An empty cold da sak with no homes to retreat I'm incomplete, tired at defeat There's no more hope to reap Keeping faith feels beneath me And I'm hardly at peace When it's all that I need Release my heart from its cages Feeling useless, dumb, complacent I was smoking dope in his basement Getting high on complications Ruined my life Home life's vacant Think I need a vacation A little pre-suspection Recollection On how was I elected Cause I can't take it For this life Cause I'm barely hanging on In this life I'm trying to make it on And they say to keep strong And keep faith They tell me to keep weighing my gains I'm just tryna keep my cool In this Southern California heat wave I'm just trying to keep it chill Chill Chill Been through this before I know how to deal Deal Deal Mmm Tell me to keep strong And keep faith They tell me to keep weighing my gains I'm just tryna keep my cool In this Southern California heat wave So chug it down Chug it down for me I'm drowning out in all this Hennessy Cause that's all that there's left of me I don't know what I'm drinking But I can't stand thinking This pain I can't seem to ignore A quick sip turns into a bottle A quick sniff turns into a pipe And I don't know if I deserve my life Someone take away this right Cause I can't take it For this life Cause I'm barely hanging on In this life I'm trying to make it on And they say to keep strong And keep faith They tell me to keep weighing my gains I'm just tryna keep my cool In this Southern California heat wave I'm just trying to keep it chill Chill Chill Been through this before I know how to deal Deal Deal Mmm
