Verse 1
met ya out on the west coast
fell in love in Frisco and brought you home

you said you loved this small town
we tried to put some roots down of our own


but the city lights burned so bright
in your memory
guess they were always calling you

away from me

Chorus:

should be good to go
I topped it off, I checked the oil
there's a map on the dash,

but I guess you know your way

and I have to laugh I guess

as you point your Eldorado west
you changed my life
you changed your name

but you never changed your California plates

Verse 2:

bet you missed the beaches
warm ocean breezes rollin' in
but I'll miss the cool nights

nothin' but the firelight on your skin

girl dry your eyes I know you tried

to make it work
but in your heart your
still a California girl


Chorus:
should be good to go

I topped it off, I checked the oil
there's a map on the dash,
but I guess you know your way


and I have to laugh I guess
as you point your Eldorado west

you changed my life
you changed your name
but you never changed your California plates


bridge


and I have to laugh I guess
as you point your Eldorado west
you changed my life

you changed your name
but you never changed your California plates
no you never changed your California plates
