You're like an earthquake in LA
I'm shaking like a building falling
The city breaks and falls away

Into shattered ground
I used to stand tall but I'm
So used to lying down that

I don't stand for nothing now

There's a train heading for LA

You're going away
You're going away
Yeah, there's a train heading for LA

You're going away
You're going away


I've never been to California
I've never been to Memphis
But I couldn't let you go

No, I couldn't let you go
Before I let you know
How much I meant this

I couldn't let you go
No, I couldn't let you go
Before


You're like a sidewalk cracked
In the heat of the summer

With all the children jumping over
For good luck
I don't know if it's the heat

Or the Tennessee air but
I want you next to me
Though I know you won't be there

So good luck

There's a plane heading for LA

I'm giving chase
I'm giving chase


I've never been to California
I've never been to Memphis
But I couldn't let you go

No, I couldn't let you go
Before I let you know
How much I meant this

I couldn't let you go
No, I couldn't let you go
Before


Tonight, tonight, the west coast ain't the best coast
Tonight, tonight


I've never been to California
I've never been to Memphis

But I couldn't let you go
No, I couldn't let you go
Before I let you know

How much I meant this
I couldn't let you go
No, I couldn't let you go

Before I let you know how much I meant this
I let you know how much I miss this
