Met you out on the West coast
Fell in love in Frisco and brought you home
You said you loved this small town
We tried to put some roots down of our own

But the city lights burned so bright in your memory
Guess they were always calling you away from me

Should be good to go
I topped it off, I checked the oil
There's a map on the dash
But I guess you know your way

And I have to laugh I guess
As you point your Eldorado west
You changed my life
You changed your name
But you never changed your California plates

Bet you missed the beaches
Warm ocean breezes rolling in
But I'll miss the cool nights
Nothing but the firelight on your skin

Girl, dry your eyes I know you tried to make it work
But in your heart you're still a California girl

Should be good to go
I topped it off, I checked the oil
There's a map on the dash
But I guess you know your way

And I have to laugh I guess
As you point your Eldorado west
You changed my life
You changed your name
But you never changed your California plates

And I have to laugh I guess
As you point your Eldorado west
You changed my life
You changed your name
But you never changed your California plates
No, you never changed your California plates
