Well I'm holding on,
yeah, I'm holding it all in.
When it all goes wrong

you just can't wake.
I can't stand another sunrise,
I need a little rain.

Well the angels left this city
and they won't be back again.


I'm leaving California and I'll never look back
I took a picture for ya' but I painted it black.
One more dream around a runaway draft

now there's one less burned out star in the sky.
Leaving California tonight.


There's a broken dream,
in Santa Monica Crescent Heights
yeah, that .........

well it's got in my way tonight.
And the lights are in the revue
and the stars surf in the sky,

and I don't know where I'm going, baby
but it's, it's time to say goodbye.


And I'm leaving California and I'll never look back
I took a picture for ya' but I painted it black.
One more dream around a runaway draft

now there's one less burned out star in the sky.
Leaving California.


I got a one way ticket on a rollin' stone
Imma goodbye kiss it and then i'm going, going,
gone like wind, like fire, like rain

no, i'm never comming back again.

'Cause I'm leaving California and I'll never look back

I took a picture for ya' but I painted it black.
One more dream around a runaway draft
now there's one less burned out star in the sky.

Leaving California.

And I'm leaving California and I'll never look back

I took a picture for ya' but I painted it black.
One more dream around a runaway draft
now there's one less burned out star in the sky.

Leaving California tonight.
