Verse 1:

Well I’ve heard people say
That California’s just a step away
From being outright paradise
but I don’t think it’s quite that nice
To me California’s hell and it’ll stay that way
Chorus:

‘Cause that’s where I lost you
You found someone new
And I’ll never get over
Those brown eyes in California blues
Verse 2:
You know I watched those palm trees sway
Your teardrops falling as I turned away
And I still see your soft brown eyes
I dream about them every night
And I wish to God I could hold you every day
Chorus:
Because now I’ve lost you
You’ve found someone new
And I’ll never get over
Those brown eyes in California blues
Verse 3:
I’ve heard it said that California
Will someday just fall right into the sea
And it just might take that much time
To heal this broken heart of mine
And erase your soft brown eyes from my memory
Chorus:
Because now I’ve lost you
You’ve found someone new
And I’ll never get over
Those brown eyes in California blues
