Ran away from home when I was seventeen   To be with you on the California coast   Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina   Out on, out on the California coast      Don't think that I'm ungrateful   And don't look so morose   Adios, adios      We never really made it baby   But we came pretty close   Adios, adios      Going up north where the hills are winter green   I got to leave you on the California coast   Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner   Than, than the California Coast      Our dreams of endless summer   Were just too grandiose   Adios, adios      And I miss the blood red sunset   But I miss you the most   Adios, adios   Adios, adios   Adios, adios
