Geoff Baker - Cali Before It's Gone lyrics

rate me

When you close your eyes in Jersey, winter brings you things—

Whispers off the Turnpike, rumors off of Route 18—

Spoiling every memory of spring.

The hardest thing I ever tried to teach myself was not to care,

But once you’re all in, once you’re calling,

There’s no hiding, anywhere.

It’s warmer way out west,

And I’m waiting on your call.

With evening breathing winter storms,

I just want to hear from somewhere warm.

On the 80, westbound, chasing things I whispered in your ear…

After all my warnings about leaving California,

I cannot get gone as long as you’re here.

Running from every rising sun, driving all day long:

Salt Flats in the morning, Sierras in the evening,

Trying to get to Cali before it’s gone.

I’ll be coming on like roses,

Hoping you will be there still,

But even if you’re not,

I have always got

One day left to believe that you will.

<br />
