John Banrock - I Was Thinkin' California

I Was Thinkin' California

Two lovers on the beach
Conning joy from disbelief
Ne’er a cloud was in the sky
‘Cause they were fogging up our minds

So I was thinkin’ California
You were thinkin’ Tennessee
I was thinkin’ California
‘cause it’s so far from Tennessee

I was quick to take the bait
Believing words like love and fate
But I was dancing in the dark
‘cause we were over from the start

So I was thinkin’ California
And you were thinkin’ Tennessee
I was thinkin’ California
‘cause it’s so far from Tennessee

You winked at me and laughed
As I penned our epitaph
You sunk the knife into my back
Your evil ways shone through
But my demons got you too

So I was thinkin’ California
You were thinkin’ Tennessee
I was thinkin’ California
‘cause it’s so far from….

So I was thinkin’ California
And you were thinkin’ Tennessee
I was thinkin’ California
‘cause it’s so far from Tennessee
‘cause it’s so far from my baby
