Ran away from home when I was seventeen 
To be with you 
On the California coast 

Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina 
Out on the California coast 

Don't think that I'm ungrateful 
And don't look so morose 
Adios 
Adios 

We never really made it baby 
But we came pretty close 
Adios adios 

Going up north where the hills are winter green 
I have to leave you 
On the California coast 

Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner 
Than the California coast 

Our dreams of endless summer 
Were just too grandiose 
Adios 
Adios 

And I miss the blood red sunset 
But I miss you the most 
Adios adios 
Adios 
Adios 
Adios adios
