C Em Am FC Em FVerse 1F
Met you out on the west coast
C
Fell in love in Frisco and brought you home
F
You said you loved this small town
C
We tried to put some roots down of our own
Am
But the city lights burned so bright
F
In your memory
Am
Guess they were always calling you
F
Away from me
Chorus:
CEm
Should be good to go
AmF
I topped it off, I checked the oil
C
There's a map on the dash,
EmFG
But I guess you know your way
CEm
And I have to laugh I guess
AmF
As you point your Eldorado west
C
You changed my life
Em
You changed your name
FGC
But you never changed your California plates
Em Am FVerse 2:
Bet you missed the beaches
Warm ocean breezes rollin' in
But I'll miss the cool nights
Nothin' but the firelight on your skin
Girl dry your eyes I know you tried
To make it work
But in your heart your still
A California girl
Chorus:
C Em F G
And I have to laugh I guess
As you point your Eldorado west
You changed my life
You changed your name
But you never changed your California plates
FGC
No you never changed your California plates
