California Lyrics

Blue skies have chases me, away from a simple life
Now I’m eating paper that’s tasting funny
Out here in complicated
California
California

Slow, down, good times
Slow, down, good time

A cigarette and tea is all I had to eat
A metal band at scream was all I heard for weeks
Man this ain’t easy, but I wish all my friends could see me…
In California
California

Slow, down, good times
Slow, down, good times

Leaving with a clear mid,
I didn’t wait on my graduation
Good friends, young times
Its all part of the shot we’re taking

Slow, down, good times
Slow, down, good times

California
