You're like an earthquake in L.A.   I'm shaking like a building falling.   The city breaks and falls away   Into shattered ground.   I used to stand tall but I'm   So used to lying down that   I don't stand for nothing now.      There's a train heading for L.A.   You're going away.   There's a train heading for L.A.   You're going away.      I've never been to California   I've never been to Memphis   But I couldn't let you go   No I couldn't let you go   Before I let you know   How much I meant this.   But I couldn't let you go   No I couldn't let you go   Before      You're like a sidewalk cracked   In the heat of the summer   With all the children jumping over   For good luck.   I don't know if it's the heat   Or the Tennessee air but   I want you next to me,   Though I know you won't be there.   So good luck.      There's a plane heading for L.A.   I'm giving chase.      I've never been to California   I've never been to Memphis   But I couldn't let you go   No I couldn't let you go   Before I let you know   How much I meant this.   But I couldn't let you go   No I couldn't let you go   Before      Tonight, the west coast ain't the best coast.   Tonight, tonight.      I've never been to California   I've never been to Memphis   But I couldn't let you go   No I couldn't let you go   Before I let you know   How much I meant this.   But I couldn't let you go   No I couldn't let you go   Before I let you know how much I meant this.
