lyrics

California Got My Baby
© 2015, Scott Hrabko (ASCAP)

Cracked up like the sidewalk
Spanish static in the air
Drunken American laughter
I never dreamed I'd find you there

There ain't nothing shaking
But the leaves on the trees
The last time I saw you, baby
You belonged to me

Cashing my quarters in a town on the border
As ugly as an old rock star
In a Santa Anna sand blasted Rambler
I never dreamed we'd get this far

My shadow and I by the idiot light
Driving all night back to you
A ball of fire in the rear view mirror
All the towns that wouldn't do

But I've got red wine at bedtime
To keep me company
California got my baby
And the lonesome blues got me

Now she's married, just barely
Hanging on by a thread
She'd laugh whenever I'd tell her
Our best days are just ahead

She said, "I love you, baby,
But I'd better get off the phone.
It's Saturday night, the lights are bright
You ought to find a thrill of your own"

Oh, the western wind is laughing last
Rolling in from the sea
California got my baby
And the lonesome blues got me
Oh the lonesome blues got me
Yeah, the lonesome blues got me
Yodelayhee-hee, hee-hee

Scott Hrabko image

Scott Hrabko Kansas City, Missouri

Kansas City's Scott Hrabko is an independent singer/songwriter who has followed his own mercurial muse since the town's late- 80s indie rock scene.

“Hrabko’s rootsy songs are filled with trap doors, hidden nooks, and secret passageways. They’re like those dreams within comfortably familiar houses that suddenly have brand new rooms.”
Mike Warren - No Depression ... more
