[Verse 1]
I've been Texas talking to myself at night
I've been Florida falling since I met you in ‘09
I've been Arizona angry over every word we said
Add Tennessee whiskey, wishing I could take it back

[Chorus]
I've been flying and crying tryna leave you where I've been
But the cracks in my heart always let you back in
Keep tryin' to lose you in the Hollywood hills
But I'm California dreamin' still
And I always will

[Verse 2]
I'm Wisconsin wonderin' what you're doin' right now
I've been Rocky Mountain High trying to put you down
Put an ocean in between us but it still don't work
I guess there ain't no drownin' out the California hurt

[Chorus]
I've been flying and crying tryna leave you where I've been
But the cracks in my heart always let you back in
Keep tryin' to lose you in the Hollywood hills
But I'm California dreamin' still
And I always will

[Bridge]
I'm Mulholland drivin' with you sitting shotgun
Santa Monica kissing in the sinking sun
This Nashville night is where I should be
But my soul keeps searching for my California dream

[Chorus]
I've been flying and crying tryna leave you where I've been
But the cracks in my heart always let you back in
Keep tryin to lose you in the Hollywood hills
But I'm California dreamin' still
And I always will
I always will
I always will
