Well i'm holding on,
Yeah, i'm holding it all in.
When it all goes wrong
You just can't win.
I can't stand another sunrise,
Man, 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 dreamer on a runaway drive,
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 old moonbeam
Well, it's guiding my way tonight.
And the lights are in the rearview
And the stars are 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 dreamer on a runaway drive,
Now there's one less burned out star in the sky.
Leaving california.

I got a one way ticket, i'm a rolling stone
Imma goodbye kiss it and i'm going, going,
Gone like wind, like fire, like rain
No, i'm never coming 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 dreamer on a runaway drive,
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 dreamer on a runaway drive,
Now there's one less burned out star in the sky.
Leaving california tonight.
