I called Jesus but he didn't check his phone today,

Oh oh, there's my summer girl

I've been wanting her

I hear she's got a boyfriend

Thought I could leave her for a season but it just got cold

Yeah, it's a lonely hour in my cellphone tower,

Broken down transmission.



But I'm gonna take you to my boxcar on the beach

And I'm gonna hang the sun above your bed

And soak your hair in bleach



You'll be missed Miss California

You'll be kissed by only me

When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery

but you're no mystery to me, Miss California



I called Jesus but he heard I hurt his little girl, yeah,

with my reckless stare, I've been so unfair

Misplacing my affections

She had a reason not to take me back into her care

Oh, I'm just a stray dog now, I can't beg or bow

Just give me some direction.



And I'm gonna take you to the mansion where I hide

and I'm gonna paint a diamond on your hand

And you will be my bride

You'll be missed Miss California

You'll be kissed by only me

When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery

But you're no mystery to me, Miss California

Miss California

I'll be around, I'll be around.



You'll be missed Miss California.

You'll be kissed by only me.

When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery

But not to me.



You'll be missed Miss California

We'll be married in the rain

When they can't find you I'm sure I'll be the one they blame

But they can't prove anything

Miss California

Miss California

I'll be around
