Hello California,

Sure is strange to be here today.

What's a boy from down in Austin

Doin' in the city of angels anyway?

So won't ya come on out here with me?

Find out what you can or can not see

Maybe gain a new perspective

Why we're so infected by our dreams



Yeah and baby, I'll be out here dreaming

And thinking about the life we could have

Yeah but you're back home in Texas,

And I'm wondering when's the next time I get to hold you

I just wanna hold you



It's the sweetest kind of poison

Tackle you and take away your faith

Whiskey for a lifetime

Wreck your soul with the smallest little taste



Yeah and baby, I'll be out here dreaming

And thinking about the life we could have.

Well I'm stranded in Los Angeles

Wondering when's the next time I get to hold you,

I just wanna hold you.



I am just a guitar man

That fell in love with you

Times good or bad, I'd take ‘em all the same

You could have some 9 to 5 man comin' home to take your hand

You know he's never gonna do



Is this the life I dreamed of?

Guess it's just the way it all went down

Damn right I sure am happy

With the crazy piece of life that I have found



Yeah and baby, I'll be out here dreaming

And thinking about the life we could have

Yeah but you're back home in Texas,

And I'm stranded in Los Angeles

Wondering when's the next time I get to hold you,

I just wanna hold you.
