Adios To California

                                  Smokey room and a thin blue light

Her arms were pale as white

Trying to outlast the night

Howlin' at the moon



Living in the canyon then

Hangdown Hanna and Whiskey Jim

Dirty jeans and mudslide hymns

That all began with soon



[Chorus]

So adios to California

Nothing to do but turn around

Always thought there's someone comin' for ya

Only way you'd leave this town



Pasadena in the rain

Eatin' donuts and readin' Twain

How much longer can my brain

Set itself on fire?



You said "That's it for me"

Have a little faith, it might set you free

But your faith is no good, you see

For me and my desire



[Chorus]



Two cigarettes from the package gone

You must have thought about it just that long

I never knew you were so strong

I guess I never will



[Chorus]
