Do you remember California 20-oh-6
You told me you could change the world
I had no doubt about it
I've always been kind of weird
You never seemed to care
Only two children in school
What do we know about life?

You were my little dancer
Golden hair and yellow eyes
I was her disaster
Always brush him aside
I do not see it soon after
But in the years that have passed
I thought I'll never find a better friend
Than the one I left behind... ohh

So you're getting married
I hope it's nothing like our dads
When we were young
And love was something so fucked up
You sure took its toll on me

Then it's back to California in my mind
etty arguments about bus travel in sunlight muted
We belong to California, young and wild and free
Where our dreams become large as
yellow eyes
When looked at my

Remember summer nights?
Outside in the car park?
Checkin out the elderly?
Man those boys were hot drum line
And we dance under the street lamps
high off the summer heat
"Just two more years!
Only two more years! " And we 'd be out of here... ohh

Now we're getting older
Adult world of dark and colder
Are you in law school
I am a bar back in the neighborhood

Then it's back to California in my mind
Petty arguments about travel
bus in sunlight muted
We belong to California
young and wild and free
Where our dreams come
large as their yellow eyes
When looked at my
When looked at my

Oohh ooh ohh
Oohh ooh ohh
