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
because i see your face when they turn out my light
so i keep another night by this fire and drink some wine
X
it s the closest thing to you i m gonna find
new york ladies, they drive men crazy
can t keep up, i m from the south and lazy
this town stays open too late for this old bum
and maybe it s because it s 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
X
it s the closest thing to you i m gonna find
X
georgia girls took all my pennies
every time i come back i fall from many
i wake up and wonder just why i ever left here
when they 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 stuff from your backyard georgia pie
it s the closest thing to you i m gonna find
