See I got a little bit of a problem   back where I come from,   feels like five people in my population   and no one ever leaves there   I’m gonna be the first one   I guess my papa always told me the way it was,   and my mama think she knows me, I know she doesn’t   (ah ah ah)      [Chorus]   But I got my head set on California   I’ll fly away tomorrow, won’t even warn ya   and I’ll send a big postcard, just to piss you off   I got my head set on California   Here I come       See, I got what you would call an obsession   it feels like I think sane   the limits of a small town   frustrating my brain,    might leave some roots there,   but my head’s on the next plane   ’cause my daddy always told me the way it was,   and my mama think she knows me, I know she doesn’t   (ah ah ah)      [Chorus]      Here I come      Papa always tells me the way it was,   and my mama think she knows me, I know she doesn’t   (ah ah ah)      But I got my head set on New York City   I’ll fly away tomorrow, won’t even miss me   and I’ll get a big boyfriend, just to piss you off      [Chorus]      Here I come, here I come
