VERSE 1

I left Shannon, crying in Nashville

She was the best that I've had

She needed so much, more than I could give

That still makes me sad

CHORUS

But California's in my headlights

It's been so long since I've seen stars in the sky

So far, I ain't got it right, but this time I just might

VERSE 2

I miss this desert, most in the spring time

I miss a girl I still love

I've missed so many, once in a lifetimes

And sometimes that gets tough

Yeah and sometimes that's still tough

CHORUS

But California's in my headlights

It's been so long since I've seen stars in the sky

So far, I ain't got it right, but this time I just might

In California

BRIDGE

Oh baby, you should run

And I should warn you

Hey baby, I still miss some one

CHORUS
