Well, I’m holding on and holding it all in
When it all goes wrong and you just can't win
I can’t stand another sunrise and I need a little rain
Well, the angels left this city and they won’t be back again.

Now I’m leaving California and I’ll never look back.
I took a picture for you, but I painted it black.
One more dream around a run away track,
Now there's on less burned out star in the sky,
Leaving California, tonight.

It’s a broken dream in Santa Monica, crushing night
And that old movie when it’s gotta know in night.
And the lights are in the rear view and the stars up in the sky
And I don’t know where I’m going, baby, but it’s time to say goodbye.

Now I’m leaving California and I’ll never look back.
I took a picture for you, but I painted it black.
One more dream around a run away track,
Now there's on less burned out star in the sky,
Leaving California, tonight.

I got a one way ticket, I’m a rolling stone,
I’m a goodnight kiss and I’m going, going home.
Like wind, like fire, like rain,
Know I’m never coming back again.

‘cause I’m leaving California and I’ll never look back.
Took a picture for you, but I painted it black.
One more dream around a run away track,
Now there's one less burned out star in the sky,
Leaving California,

Now I’m leaving California and I’ll never look back.
(I got a one way ticket, I’m a rolling stone)
Took a picture for you, but I painted it black.
(I’m a goodnight kiss and I’m going, going home.)
(Like wind, like fire, like rain,)
(Know I’m never coming back again.)
One more dream around a run away track,
Now there's one less burned out in the sky,
Leaving California tonight
