Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I graduated with eight-six sheep

I was the black one

If there was a reputation to be had in this town

I had the bad one

I was born in the wrong place in the wrong time

But sometimes the wrong way

Makes you the right kind

[Verse 2]

I was all in a hurry

And if i got past there, I won't stop lyin'

Ii could get a head start on anything that hurt me

Anywhere I go, don't feel like you

Was that good or bad

I don't know if I'm runnin' away

I don't know if I'm runnin' toward ya

I guess that's what you get

When you're born and stuck in California

California, Missouri

[Verse 3]

I just really hope one day

That you were gonna love me

I was California dreamin'

From the middle of the country

I look for you in the best of them

In every face and city skyline

I got out of your way

But did you get out of line

[Verse 4]

And I was all in a hurry

And if i got past there, I won't stop lyin'

I could get a head start on anything that hurt me

Anywhere I go, don't feel like you

Was that good or bad

I don't know if I'm runnin' away

I don't know if I'm runnin' toward ya

I guess that's what you get

When you're born and stuck in California

California, Missouri

[Verse 5]

Ain't no shiny lights or palm trees

There's more stars in the sky

Than stars in the street

It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet, it's bittersweet

There's too many ghosts, too many memories

[Verse 6]

I was all in a hurry

And if i got past there, I won't stop lyin'

Nothin' could hurt me

Anywhere I go, don't feel like you

Was that good or bad

I don't know if I'm runnin' away

I don't know if I'm runnin' toward ya

I guess that's what you get

When you're born and stuck in California

California, Missouri

California, Missouri

Are you proud?

Are you proud of me, California, Missouri?
