I left Shannon, crying in Nashville
She was the best that I've had
She needed so much, more than I could give
That still makes me sad

But California's in my headlights
It's been so long since I've seen stars in the sky
So far, I ain't got it right, but this time I just might

I miss this desert, most in the spring time
I miss a girl I still love
I've missed so many, once in a lifetimes
And sometimes that gets tough
Yeah and sometimes that's still tough

But California's in my headlights
It's been so long since I've seen stars in the sky
So far, I ain't got it right, but this time I just might
In California

Oh baby, you should run
And I should warn you
Hey baby, I still miss some one
