Met ya out on the west coast

fell in love in Frisco and brought you home

you said you loved this small town

we tried to put some roots down of our own



But the city lights burned so bright

in your memory

guess they were always calling you

away from me



Chorus:

You should be good to go

I topped it off, I checked the oil

there's a map on the dash,

but I guess you know your way



And I have to laugh I guess

as you point your Eldorado west

you changed my life

you changed your name

but you never changed your California plates



Bet you missed the beaches

warm ocean breezes rollin' in

but I'll miss the cool nights

nothin' but the firelight on your skin



Girl dry your eyes I know you tried

to make it work

but in your heart your

still a California girl



Chorus:

You should be good to go

I topped it off, I checked the oil

there's a map on the dash,

but I guess you know your way



And I have to laugh I guess

as you point your Eldorado west

you changed my life

you changed your name

but you never changed your California plates



And I have to laugh I guess

as you point your Eldorado west

you changed my life

you changed your name

but you never changed your California plates

no you never changed your California plates
