California (all The Way)

Well, she followed him from Phoenix out to Californ

And then she passed out on the bed

And all the little things he never even asked her for

She simply smiled and shook her head

Why can't we smile just like we used to?

Why don't you figure anymore?

Why has my sympathy now turned to malice?

It doesn't matter anymore

And now I realize I'm livin' like a trucker does

Although I haven't got the belly

And though she followed me to California all the way

I only wanna watch the tele

Why can't we smile just like we used to?

Why don't you figure anymore?

Why has my sympathy now turned to malice?

It doesn't matter anymore

He asked her please stop quotin' Rodney King

When in your postcards, can't understand it anymore

And if your gonna read your poetry aloud to me

I'll have to show you to the door

Why can't we smile just like we used to?

Why don't you figure anymore?

Why has my sympathy now turned to malice?

It doesn't matter anymore
