I stretched myself across four states, new lands, west coast Where my dreams lay, I trade amber clay rolls for the sea foam And the endless sun rays Cause I was never told that I wasn't gonna get the things I want the most But people always say if it hasn't happened yet, then maybe you should go Come get me out of California, no leaves are brown I miss the seasons in Missouri, my dying town Thought I'd be cool in California, I'd make you proud To think I almost had it going, but they let you down Too high to find reasons to stay Even true love could not persuade Cause I was never told that I wasn't gonna get the things I want the most But people always say if it hasn't happened yet, then maybe you should go Come get me out of California, no leaves are brown I miss the seasons in Missouri, my dying town Thought I'd be cool in California, I'd make you proud To think I almost had it going, but they let you down Come get me out, come get me out Come get me out, come get me out Come get me out of California, no leaves are brown I miss the seasons in Missouri, my dying town Thought I'd be cool in California, I'd make you proud To think I almost had it going, but they let you down
