California here I come 
I'm keeping up with the sun 
I sort of like it here but 
Oh hell the truth be told 
I'm the only one 

I could have been a better man 
I could have tried 
I could have had a better plan 
And gone out in style 
I could always get around 
When times were high 

No one ever comes around 
People go for bigger towns 
They take a look and talk a while 
And the truth be told 
They always hit the road 

I could have been a better man 
I could have tried 
I could have had a better plan 
And gone out in style 
I could always get around 
When times were high 

I could have been a better man 
I could have tried 
In never ever ever land 
My stakes are high 
And I've been lonely as hell
