Budweiser clock says it`s almost twelve
I tipped the bartender, he rang that old bell
San bernardino nights are great
But they sure don`t feel like home
Right now in Tulsa they`ve turned up the lights
The band has stopped playin`, they`ve called it a night
She`s makin` her way to the front door
I know she won`t be leavin` alone
Chorus:
If it`s midnight in California, must be closin` time in Oklahoma
I know that she`s already danced another night away
And these west coast nights sure seem colder
Knowin` somebody else`s arms will hold her
Midnight in California means it`s closin` time at home
I thought this distance between us might help me forget
But I`ve been here two weeks and it ain`t happened yet
A change of scenery hasn`t done a thing to change her mind
Oh, these west coast nights sure seem colder
Knowin` somebody else`s arms will hold her
Midnight in California means it`s closin` time at home
Yeah, midnight in California means it`s closin` time at home
