do you remember california 20 oh 6 you told me we could change this world i had no doubt about it i was always kind of awkward you never seemed to mind just two kids in high school what could we know about life you were my tiny dancer golden hair and yellow eyes i was your disaster always brushing you aside i didn t see it right then but in the years that have gone by i found i ll never know a better friend than this one i left behind oh so you re getting married i hope hes nothing like our daddies when we were young and love was something so fucked up its sure had its toll on me and so its back to california in my mind petty arguments on bus rides in muted sunlight we belong to california young and free and wild where our dreams grew big as your yellow eyes as they looked into mine  do you remember summer nights out in the parking lot checkin out those seniors man those drum line boys looked hot and we danced under the street lamps high off that summer heat just two more years just two more years and we d be outta here oh now we re getting older the world s grown dark and colder you re in law school i m a bar back in the neighborhood and so its back to california in my mind petty arguments on bus rides in muted sunlight we belong to california young and free and wild where our dreams grew big as your yellow eyes as they looked into mine as they looked into mine 1
