Ashley Monroe - California lyrics

rate me

I was only seventeen when I first met you

And you were always wilder than me

But I still loved you

But you said I had to watch all the seasons change before I knew

You said you had a dream and you had to find it

You always wanted a girl like me but this wasn't how you timed it

Boy meets girl they fall in love

Boy leaves for the city lights and she's crying

But I ain't crying

(Chorus)

It's been four weeks twenty-eight days

Since you went away

I know you'll be back someday

From California

And I'll be the barefoot blonde

Sliver rings and blue jeans on

Standing out there with the dog

Just waiting for you

From California

You sent me Malibu on the back of a post card

Sure looks pretty out there

But you sound lonesome

I volunteered at the county fair

They got me painting daisies on the babies cheeks

Now ain't that sweet

(Repeat Chorus)

You got a job playing guitar

Well that don't surprise me

I always thought you were a star

But I'm glad you miss me

(Repeat Chorus)
