Sound like what, what, here's the break
Of the hearts that were recently made
The songs I sing, didn't hear them
But it's nothing that you can do 'Cause California took my Bobby away
Now there's nothing left to do
'Cause California, you took my Bobby away
Now there's nothing left to say You open up and you let 'em in
To a place where nothing ever grows
The ceremonies didn't keep him here
Didn't keep him here away from you 'Cause California took my Bobby away
Now there's nothing left to do
California, you took my Bobby away
Now there's nothing left to say
