My shadow followed when you walked away
And ever since that day
My life has never been the same

My friends all asked just why you went away
And all that I can say is your heart was in another place


And all I know is when I move away
My heart will stay in this midwestern state


Whoa-oh, oh, oh
Darling, you're with him
Whoa-oh, oh, oh

Damn it's such a shame
Whoa-oh, oh, oh
It's drivin' me insane

And ever since you went away
My heart has never beat the same
And all that I can do

Is just laugh

California waits for me to make the change

So I can start a band
And party like it's summer
My friends all ask just why I want to change

And all that I can say is it's all because of her

And all I know is when I move away

My heart will stay in this midwestern state

Whoa-oh, oh, oh

Darling, you're with him
Whoa-oh, oh, oh
Damn it's such a shame

Whoa-oh, oh, oh
It's drivin' me insane
And ever since you went away

My heart has never beat the same
And all I want to do is just go scream it in your face


Whoa-oh, oh, oh
Darling, you're with him
Whoa-oh, oh, oh

Damn it's such a shame
Whoa-oh, oh, oh
It's drivin' me insane

And ever since you went away
My heart has never beat the same
And all that I can do

Is just laugh
