I Don't Have a Reason to Go to California Anymore Lyrics

I meet her by the ocean laying in the California sun
And she was some thing special like I never found in anyone
But living here in Texas sure kept this ole boy on the moon
She was sad when I wasn't with her, someone else would be pulling off her shoes
That gal she hypnotized me and had me buying airline tickets every week
But every time I mention Texas she moved a little further up the beach
Then today she finely told me long distance love ain't working like before
And you don't have a reason to come to California anymore

I don't have a reason to go to California anymore
And when she closed her heart
She closed the California door
I might as well fall in the ocean
Like I've heard them say a hundred times before
Because I don't have a reason to go to California anymore

I might as well fall in the ocean
Like I've heard them say a hundred times before
Because I don't have a reason to go to California anymore
I don't have a reason to go to California anymore

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
