Everything we do is paid in pockets of change
She won’t touch the ground
She floats like leaves on the rain
The windows up, the air is high
And her black smoke eyes see fire in my mind
And I figured out to make it out the old ways
Hanging out, the good old boys will drown me with grain
But I couldn’t hang when things were hard
And I think I did my part
Believing miracles and wasted days
Morning light awakens my tired heart
She could never love the California sun
Better days have spoiled in the dust
And I could never leave the California dream
Waking up and good enoughs
Are always what they seem
She could never love the California sun
Better days have spoiled in the dust
And I could never leave the California dream
Waking up and good enoughs
Are always what they seem
