Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a Delta plane landin' to L.A

Non-stop first class flight one way

I know you're excited to finally be goin'

Tryin' to hide it, but it's still showin'

You really wanna go, I won't ask you to stay

Girl you gotta know if there ever comes a day

[Verse 2]

That California ain't for ya

If palm trees start to bore ya

You start missin' your mama

Or the boy who told you to chase your dreams

If the stars don't shine there

Like they do on a back road

If you'd rather see the sun rise here

Than watch it set on the West Coast

If life out there ain't what you thought it'd be

If California ain't for ya, you still got Georgia

And you still got me

[Verse 3]

Never thought watchin' you pack that old red and black

Bulldog sweatshirt would hurt so bad

Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Catalina Islands

I'm sure it's cool but it's no St. Simons

You say you wish I'd go, but you know I can't

Girl you gotta know if there every comes a day

[Verse 4]

That California ain't for ya

If palm trees start to bore ya

You start missin' your mama

Or the boy who told you to chase your dreams

If the stars don't shine there

Like they do on a back road

If you'd rather see the sun rise here

Than watch it set on the West Coast

If life out there ain't what you thought it'd be

[Verse 5]

If California ain't for ya, if good weather starts to bore ya

You start missin' your mama

Or the boy who told you to chase your dreams

If the stars don't shine there

Like they do on a back road

If you'd rather see the sun rise here

Than watch it set on the West Coast

If life out there ain't what you thought it'd be

If California ain't for ya, you still got Georgia

If California ain't for ya, you still got Georgia

And you still got me
