Well my baby says she’s leavin’ and she’s gonna leave today
Packin’ all my memories and takin’ ‘em away
And she’s leavin’ on the Red Eye bound for Texas today
I was born in California where I wanna stay
Say’s she’s goin’ to see her momma cause she’s feelin’ kinda poor
Don’t know when she said she’d be back maybe just a year or more
And she’s leavin’ on the Red Eye bound for Texas today
Well I’m here in California don’t know if I should stay
She’s dressed in fancy clothes
She’s walkin’ out that door
What really makes me scream
Took off her diamond ring
Well I ain’t got no Beamer and I got no fancy car
Hopped into my Beater and threw in my guitar
Tried to catch the Red Eye bound for Texas today
Now I’m leavin’ California but I’ll be back someday
Bridge (Unsung)
Instrumental:
When I caught up with the Red Eye it was shootin’ down the track
Train stopped at the station so I turned and doubled back
That’s when I saw my baby hop in an automobile
And when I saw the driver I guess I knew the deal
The Cadillac was gold
It left me feelin’ cold
Had on her snake skin shoes
It’s givin’ me the blues
Bridge (Sung)
Call me on the phone
I won’t be alone
If it’s collect from Texas
You can bet I’ll hang the phone up
Cause the man you met in Dallas wasn’t your mother that day
Goin’ back to California
Goin’ back to California
Goin’ back to California
California to stay
I’m back
