I woke up in California where the sun sets on the sea
And I saw you everyday but you were a thousand miles from me
I heard you were gettin' married that's when I dove into this scene
I've been burning out and f*cking up not wanting what I need
And California aint much without a wide-eyed view
And I look back on it all now and how I needed to share it with you
So I kick back a shooter and wish you were there
I woke up in California without a care
The days were always warm and the skies were always blue
The way the waves crashed on the sand I thought I knew what to do
So me and the boys we drove to Santee to some junkyard getaway
We'd practice the tunes girl we'd play all the blues inspired by ladies
And California aint much without a wide-eyed view
And I look back on it all now and how I needed to share it with you
So I kick back a shooter and wish you were there
I woke up in California without a care
Woh, Woh, Woh, Woh
Woh, Woh, Woh, Woh
Well the dream slowly died like it'd sometimes do
Painful lack of memories from tequila, whiskey, and brew
So I got on a plane away from my breakthrough
And I landed in Richmond girl nowhere near you
And California wasn't much without a wide-eyed view
And I look back on it all now and how I needed to share it with you
So I kick back a shooter and wish you were here
I woke up in Richmond girl with a head full of cares
I woke up in Richmond girl with a head full of cares
