lyrics

Seattle, were my eyes just closed
The last time we met?
I hate to admit that I wrinkled my nose
And turned away dripping with sweat.
Can you forgive me? I’m sorry I left.
But my demons, they followed me west.
Mm, mmm…

The mountains have held in my dreams
Since I don’t know when.
A babbling brook and a tumbling stream
Have taken up space without rent.
These words fight their way to the tip of my pen.
But they never quite say what I meant.

California coming down.
I am not yours,
But I am bound to be
In your part of town.
Will you let me be free?

The apple that falls from the tree
Don’t get very far.
The world that has forced me to fall to my knees
Says, “Lucy, you know who you are.
Put on your clothes and just get in the car.
And you better not leave that guitar.”

California coming down.
I am not yours,
But I am bound to be
In your part of town.
Will you let me be free?

Oh, don’t hold me back now,
Don’t lie, don’t tell me to wait.
Wipe the sweat from your brow
And keep on ahead, it’s not too late.
You give and I’ll take.

You know, Tennessee just ain’t the same
Without you by my side.
A city can’t promise you fortune and fame,
You best learn to take it in stride.
If I know you, it’ll poison your pride.
But not me, I’m along for the ride.

California coming down.
I am not yours,
But I am bound to be
In your part of town.
Will you let me be free?
California coming down.
I am not yours,
But I am bound to be
In your part of town.
Will you let me be free?
