[Verse 1]
She had to go and chase her dreams
It turns out it wasn't me
She took off to that sunset
Ain't heard a word from her since

[Pre-Chorus]
She's somewhere on the west coast
Fleetwood in her headphones
Running 'round them hills in Hollywood
Probably got some new friends
Boxed up all her boots and
I got a feeling she's gone for good

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh hey California
Tell me why your sunshine went and stole mine away from me
Ooh, ooh hey California
Let her know it's pouring more than rain here in Tennеssee
And I'm drowning in her memory

[Verse 2]
She's on thе 101 under clear blue skies
I'm drinkin' 101 under neon lights
I'll bet her skin is Venice gold
This Sumner county summer's never felt this cold
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh hey California
Tell me why your sunshine went and stole mine away from me
Ooh, ooh hey California
Let her know it's pouring more than rain here in Tennessee
And I'm drowning in her memory

[Pre-Chorus]
She's somewhere on the west coast
Fleetwood in her headphones
Running 'round them hills in Hollywood
Probably got some new friends
Packed up all her boots and
I got a feeling she's gone for good

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh hey California
Tell me why your sunshine went and stole mine away from me
Ooh, ooh hey California
Let her know it's pouring more than rain here in Tennessee
And I'm drowning in her memory
Just drowning in her memory
