California Unspoken Tradition

[Verse 1]
Where do you go, where do you turn to
When you're runnin' out of dreams?
I've been dreamin', I've been runnin'
For a long long time it seems

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the grass is always greener on the other side
But I think I'm gettin' tired of that same old ride

[Chorus]
101 runs by the ocean
40 East goes all the way
Head downtown, it's full of people
And the music always plays
Yes, I love to hear those three chords and the simple truth
But I'm down on Lower Broadway with the California blues

[Verse 2]
How do you know what you've been missin'
If you never turn to leave?
Is this all I ever wanted
Or am I just plain naive?

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know why he was singin' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
And I wonder if the time has come to say goodbye
