[Verse 1]
He woke up with a smile
When the sun came over the hills
She woke up with a frown
And reminded him of paying the bills
He was having a ball
When he made himself some Bacon and eggs
She was wearing her curlers
And said something about shavin' her legs
[Bridge]
And then he put on his jacket and he jumped in his boots
Just like so many times before
While she was talking about what Paris Hilton had said
She heard the slamming of the door
[Verse 2]
He was waved through the tollgate
For he had no special goods to declare
While she was smoking and crying
And thinking that he wouldn't dare...
[Bridge]
And then he ripped off his jacket and he flipped off his boots
And never wore them ever again
And the sky was on fire and the sea was on ice
When he laid down in the sand
[Chorus]
He got some whiskey in a crate
And his glance was clear and straight
When he crossed the border and the highway signs said:
Next stop – Golden State!
[Verse 3]
He was changing the stations
'Til he found a good old rock'n'roll show
While she was calling her sister
As he should have been home hours ago
[Bridge]
And then he ripped off his jacket and he flipped off his boots
And never wore them ever again
And the sky was on fire and the sea was on ice
When he laid down in the sand
[Chorus]
He got some whiskey in a crate
And his glance was clear and straight
When he crossed the border and the highway signs said:
Next stop – Golden State!
