Southern California — текст песни (George Jones)

(Billy Sherrill, George Richey, Sammy Lyons)

(G.J.)
You always said someday you`d go to live
(In Southern California)
And me I`d stay right here in Tennessee

You always talked about the better days
(In Southern California)
But if you`ll stay in Tennessee
I promise there`ll be better days with me

(T. W.)
It`s not that I don`t love you
But I hear the call
(From Southern California)
There`s something I can`t find in Tennessee

Silver screens and limousines
They wait for me in Southern California

Though you`ve been so good to me
The time has come you`ll have to set me free

(G.J.)
Tomorrow when you leave
You`ll take my heart
(To Southern California)
But just remember I`ll be here
To keep your heart with me until you see

(T.W.) speaks:
Well, it`s been five years
N` I guess I`ve cried a million tears
Lookin` out the window of this little room
Right over that flashin` neon sign that says, Bar
It`s almost midnight,
An time to go downstairs and go to work
I wonder how he`s doin` in, Tennessee?

(G.J.) spoken:
Well, here I sit by the window
Of this big old lonely mansion
Lookin` out over the Smokies
And on in everything I can see

Oh, I guess by now she`s found
What she was lookin` for
And as I look at this old faded photograph
Of the girl that I still love
I wonder if she ever, thinks of me

(both)
But the weather`s good
In Southern California.
