[Verse] The civil war has broken out in me And now I must choose a side I found that Cali's divided Into a wicked north and a south piece And how I'd like to reside And fight for southern's side (With all the lovely sunlight) Now with that all clear I'll wrap up here I just need motivation To separate me from the terrible things around here [Chorus] And I'm glad I'm alive Cause all my friends know This town could s** the life out of me It thins out my blood And beats up my head So I will try out another instead [Verse] I migrate and think the birds are so damn blessed To change their home as they please And come and go with the seasons (With all the lovely sunlight) Now with that all clear I'll wrap up here I just need proper notice to such good employment And I'll just hit the road Through the mountain side In the mid-day I drive [Chorus] And I'm just glad I'm alive Cause all my friends know This town could s** the life out of me It thins out my blood And beats up my head So I will try out another instead And you, my baby you do You seemed to get me And I thought I got you too But you got me to move And now I'm here alone You go and do it on your own [Pre-Chorus] But I'm not standing here alone You go and do it on your own But I'm not standing here alone, no [Chorus] And I'm just glad I'm alive Cause all my friends know This town could s** the life out of me It thins out my blood And beats up my head So I will try out another instead
