My shadow followed when you walked away

And ever since that day

My life has never been the same

My friends all asked just why you went away

And all that I can say is that your heart was in another place



And all I know is when I move away

My heart will stay in this midwestern state



Whoa-oh, oh, oh!

Darling, you're with him!

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!

Damn it's such a shame.

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!

It's drivin' me insane

And ever since you went away,

My heart has never beat the same

And all that I can do

Is just laugh



California waits for me to make the change

So I can start a band

And party like it's summer

My friends all ask just why I want to change

And all that I can say is it's all because of her



And all I know is when I move away

My heart will stay in this midwestern state.



Whoa-oh, oh, oh!

Darling, you're with him!

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!

Damn it's such a shame.

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!

It's drivin' me insane

And ever since you went away,

My heart has never beat the same

And all I want to do

Is just go scream it in your face



Whoa-oh, oh, oh!

Darling, you're with him!

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!

Damn it's such a shame.

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!

It's drivin' me insane

And ever since you went away,

My heart has never beat the same

And all that I can do

Is just laugh.
