Well tell me where it all went wrong
And tell me where you lost those damn songs
I can't say i was surprised
I heard a drink was involved 
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
Still living by the sea
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be 

Cause Santa Cruz,
You're not that far
Oh Santa Cruz,
No, you're not that far 

Well villains come and villains will go
But a hero's name is set in stone
I heard he sued you with lies
I heard he laughed when you cried 

Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be
Still living by the sea
Oh you gotta be, oh you gotta be 

Cause Santa Cruz,
You're not that far
Oh Santa Cruz,
No, you're not that far
