California Goodbye (In Memory Of Bobby Hatfield) Lyrics
You watched your hand hold the pen
And write the note
But it wasn't you
And every single word was wrong
But every word you wrote
You knew was true
And as you stepped into the night
You wondered how this ever got so damned confused
And again you cry
In the darkness all alone
The bitter taste of the california goodbye
You watch the desert fall away to mountains
And to forest green
And rivers blue
An you glance down at your watch and wonder
What he's thinking now
That it's already noon
And then you think you'll chance the radio again
Though the last time every song just made you cry
Wo, wo yes it did
And as you touch the dial another tear falls
For the california goodbye
(Bridge)
There are dreams that we can keep
And there are stars that shine through space
Though it's cold and deep
Dreams that we can keep

Oceans rise and fall
And desert winds
Don't sleep
Tomorrow you'll be home again
A thousand memories down the road from yesterday
And if you're not too late
You might see baby brother pack his things and walk away
But somewhere deep inside
You know an aching heart can never run and hide
Ah then you, you wanna die
As the sun sets fire to the desert sky
A curtain falls
On the california goodbye
Goodbye
