She had to go and chase her dreams

It turns out it wasn't me

She took off to that sunset

Ain't heard a word from her since.

She's somewhere on the west coast

"Fleetwood..." in her headphones

Running 'round them hills in hollywood

Probably got some new friends

Boxed up all her boots and

I got a feeling she's gone for good.

Ooh, hey, california

Tell me why your sunshine went and stole mine away from me

Ooh, hey, california

Let her know it's pouring more than rain here in tennessee

And I'm drowning in her memory

Drowning in her memory.

She's on the 101 under clear blue skies

I'm drinkin' 101 under neon lights

I bet her skin is venice-gold

This sumner county summer's never felt this cold.

Ooh, hey, california

Tell me why your sunshine went and stole mine away from me

Ooh, hey, california

Let her know it's pouring more than rain here in tennessee

And I'm drowning in her memory.

She's somewhere on the west coast

"Fleetwood..." in her headphones

Running 'round them hills in hollywood

Probably got some new friends

Packed up all her boots and

I got a feeling she's gone for good.

Ooh, hey, california

Tell me why your sunshine went and stole mine away from me

Ooh, hey, california

Let her know it's pouring more than rain here in tennessee

And I'm drowning in her memory.

Just drowning in her memory.
