[California Verse 1]
N.C.
I stretched myself across four states
N.C.
New lands, west coast, where my dreams lay
            
  I trade ambe

 
r  clay roads 

for the
            
  Sea foam and

   
 the  endless 

sun rays


[Pre-Chorus]
      
'Cause I was n

ever told that

 I wasn't gonn

a get
    
The things I w

ant the most
    
But people alw

ays say, "If i

t hasn't happe

ned yet
     
Then maybe you

 should go"


[Chorus]

    Come get m

e out of Calif

ornia

  No leaves ar

e brown

  I miss the s

easons in Miss

ouri

   My dying to

wn

    Thought I'

d be cool in C

alifornia

  I'd make you

 proud

  To think I a

lmost had it g

oing

  But I let yo

u down
