California

Left behind my home, 3000 miles down the road
In my Honda with only mouth to feed

I don't care what town
As long as she's not hangin around
Just get me far as hell from Nashville Tennessee

Cause I'd rather be depressed in California
Oceans got the only blues I need
Lay me down to rest in California
Heart as cold as New Years NYC

Friends all think I'm dead
A silver bullet to my head
They've been searching in the flowers and the weeds

They don't know the truth
I'm bringing back the joy of youth
Drinkin highlife from the bottle on thebeach

Cause I'd rather be depressed in California
Finally I can find myself some peace
Lay me down to rest in California
Maybe I'll just end up on tv
One hundred thousand cigarettes in California
Still cleaner than the air I used to breathe
yea, I'd rather be depressed in California
Cause nothing else is good enough for me
