He remembers leaving California Cut all his long hair off And left it for his friends She threw him a party The people there can't recall She fell asleep but he woke her up again The house was colored powder white She was drifting in and out of sight Going for a ride that never ends Every night he's leaving California He remembers mistakes he made When he should have stayed But he was young and always unimpressed Now twenty years have come and gone He got some answers wrong He just wasn't ready for the test The house was colored blinding white She was fading in and out of light Going for a ride that never ends Every night he's leaving California Sepulveda Blvd. Riding in her car Purple Rain reminds him of the West Now twenty years have come and gone It doesn't take that long He wonders if he missed out on the best The house was colored black and white He was phasing out of her life Going for a ride that can only end Seems he's always leaving California |
