So Long, Santa Monica

Put my last quarter in the meter

And I smile my last smile

But only for awhile 'fore I get back

And I put years in to make sure

That it's y'all that I adored

On something years ago that made me this way

So long, Santa Monica & Idaho Avenue

It only takes awhile for me to

Get my head on straight and keep it there

When I first drove in this city

Well, it took me getting lost

To know my way around in the end

Maybe it's the same for those who are trying to change

Go back home, yeah, to come back again

Yeah, I'll start where I finished

And you'll be there to witness

A story of a girl who knew all too well

So long, Santa Monica & Idaho Avenue

It only takes awhile for me to

Get my head on straight and keep it there

So long, Santa Monica & Idaho Avenue

It only takes awhile for me to

Get my head on straight and keep it there
