Paul Conrad - California lyrics

[Verse 1] 24 and I'm almost over Wasted when I try to feel sober Feeling down so you try to get f**ed up You're up but you're still down on your luck Met a girl on the 4th of July Celebrations lasted one night She OD'd in back of my car Turns out she liked to see stars [Pre-Chorus] That's the life of a rockstar baby Coming with me, don't say maybe We'll f** around for a few years later Then buy a house in the 'burbs with neighbors Four kids sitting happy by the poolside All the memories tattooed on my mind Even though this all ends someday I hope the music never dies [Chorus] California what a way to die When the stars are falling and you don't know why California what a way to die What a way to die [Verse 2] In the motel gun to your head Who the hell is this lying in bed You blacked out when the sky was still blue People say, "What happened to you?" You went away when the new guy moved in Turned your head, now you're living in sin All the girls left draped in the flag Strung out and high off hashtags [Pre-Chorus] That's the life of a rockstar baby Coming with me, don't say maybe We'll f** around for a few years later Then buy a house in the 'burbs with neighbors Four kids sitting happy by the poolside All the memories tattooed on my mind Even though this all ends someday I hope the music never dies [Chorus] California what a way to die When the stars are falling and you don't know why California what a way to die What a way to die
