California Sober lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lord I'm high as a kite
Despite how low I feel like I am
Tell me a lie
Turn around and do it again
I tried so hard to please her
Didn't try hard enough to appease her
I'd feel better off dead than alive

[Verse 2]
Wishing you goodbye
Always got to make your stand
Got my head held high
While you got your head in the sand
She's California sober
Spent a decade or two hungover
I've been down that road one or two times

[Chorus]
Lord I got to find another way
I promise I won't sign my soul away
Rotting on the vine is getting old
Catch the blues 'round hеre like a common cold
Walk on by

[Verse 3]
Everybody trying to bе different, it makes em' all the same
Anybody tryin to sell ya, will tell you anything
Take it with a grain of salt
Most good things they can't be bought
And we all got time hanging on the line
[Verse 4]
Think before you speak
Hell I'm having trouble speaking at all
I'm tripping over my feet
Soon I'm gonna start having to crawl
I hope and pray for closure
Wake me up and I'll do it all over
Staying up all night praying for a ray of light

[Chorus]
Lord I got to find another way
I promise I won't sign my soul away
And rotting on the vine is getting old
Catch the blues round here like a common cold

[Outro]
That's alright
That's alright
Walk on by
