Lisa Gatewood: Lyrics

For once it’s not my fault
I got caught up in the sentimental journey
now it’s freezing in Milwaukee
and there’s not one damn lifeboat in my sea

California’s on my mind
I feel I’ve wasted all this time
hey old friend where you been
please don’t come back again

Pretty words on a Monday
don’t mean anything at all
I don’t think you meant to hurt me
but there’s something so beautiful about me when I fall
and please don’t say you’re sorry
I don’t need any more words for you
I just want to get rid of this hurting
that makes me feel I have something left to prove

California’s on my mind
I feel I’ve wasted all my time
hey old friend where you been
please don’t come back again

You’ll be so happy
with women who mean nothing to you
and I’ll pretend I’m content
With the men that I’ll never mean anything to
and please don’t say you’re sorry
I’m too full of these words from you
I just want to get rid of this aching
that makes me feel I owe something to you.

California’s on my mind
I fear I’ve wasted all your time
Hey stranger where you been
Please don’t come back again
