The Mountain Goats
Going Back to California
Parked by a mansion with an airstrip
Sun rising up so crisp and bright
Old dudes holed up in their bunkers
Chasing down the light
Faster than a speeding bullet
Smart as a whip
Dead in a parking lot in Leesburg
This is it
Going back
To California
Going back
To California
Burned up jewelry at the inquest
Cold now to the touch
Last time I ever saw him
He told me how I drink too much
Feel like I'm gonna crumble
What will become of us
Take two weeks to think about it
Get right back on the bus
Feel so bad, so afraid
Of the road up ahead
Going back
To California
Going back
To California
