It must be closing time in California
They must be shutting down those sunset balls
That's the only time that I hear from ya
Before my world lights up and yours goes dark
There's a western wave that called you out there
There's a southern voice that wants you back
Can almost smell the smoke and cheap tequila
While I'm about to pour my coffee black
I've been trying
To forget
And you've been trying
Not to miss
Me and move on
It must be closing time in California
Baby cut me off or come back home
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
There's a ghost that dances in the driveway
In a dress that hid this hard pine floor
Bet you're still in heels and your bed's sideways
Wishing I was there to keep you warm
Damn, I wish that I was too, yeah
I've been trying to forget
You've been trying not to miss me and move on
It must be closing time in California
Baby cut me off or come back home
Come back home
Come back home
Come back home
I guess we never got the timing right
Yeah, it's three on your wall and five on mine
It must be closing time in California
Yeah, it's three on your wall and five on mine It must be closing time in California
California, if what you went to find just ain't out there, then it's closing time in California, and baby Tennessee ain't gone nowhere.
Thank you.
