Intro: It ain't the weather, that brings you down The darkest shadows I've ever found Somewhere down along these streets of gold My dreams like property I bought and sold Goddam California I'll miss my Tennessee Nobody here will ever want you Just how cold it all could be Now the canyons and the boulevards The loneliness has never been far I see their faces as they turn away The old ones disappear while the young ones stay Goddam California I'll miss my Tennessee Nobody here will ever want you Just how cold it all could be Nobody ever wants to go Nobody ever wants to leave Nobody tells you who they are Only who they want to be Goddam California I'll miss my Tennessee Nobody here will ever want you Just how cold it all could be Just how cold it all could be Just how cold it all could be
