Chico, California

My girl, she’s the one for me

We’re just rolling around going town to town and, city to city

When I’m with my girl, I don’t get much sleep

All the city lights they shine so bright, whenever she is with me

Then I wake up by myself, where did she go (where did she go)

Cause I’m stuck here all alone, down in Chico

California

I got no shirt, I got no shoes, just longing for ya

Oh but what am I gonna do in California

I got no shirt, I got no shoes, just longing for ya

Oh but what am I gonna do

Well I’m standing in the parking lot of the goodnight inn,

But the name don’t mean the same no more, you see I’m fresh out of gin (ah)

She stole my heart and every dollar I had, but I ain’t even mad

I’d take her back in a New York minute, her good and her bad

Now I’m asking myself, where did she go (where did she go)

Cause I’m stuck here all alone, down in Chico

California

I got no shirt, I got no shoes, just longing for ya

Oh but what am I gonna do in California

I got no shirt, I got no shoes, just longing for ya

Oh but what am I gonna do

She’s so bad

She took everything I had

She’s so bad

But she’s I ever had (she’s the best I ever had)

She’s so bad

I’d take her back, no questions asked (no questions)

I just got to know, where did she go

Cause she left me all alone, down in Chico

California

I got no shirt, I got no shoes, I’m moving forward

There ain’t nothing that I can’t do in California (oh yeah)

Well it ain’t that bad

Cause I found a new girl (oh yeah)

And she’s the best I ever had
