Butch Walker - The Closest Thing to You I'm Gonna Find lyrics

California girls they have a way Of moving their mouths just a certain way Saying things that always seem so right But when the shine wears off at the end of the day I'm left with the tab and not a word to say 'Cause I see your face when they turn out my light So I keep another night by this fire and drink some wine It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find New York ladies that drive men crazy Can't keep up I'm from the South and lazy This town stays open too late for these old bones And maybe it's because its got too many faces Crammed like fishes in compact places This is why all of them seem desperate and alone So I pick back up the cigarettes but only for the night It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find Hey! Georgia girls took all my pennies Every time I come back I fall for many Wake up and wonder why I ever left here When we spend all night with a drink to the face Get caught up in politics and race I just smile and shove the cotton further down my ear And my hands are full of the sticky sap from your backyard Georgia pine It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find
