Indigo Girls - Southern California Is Your Girlfriend lyrics

I caught every red light on the way to catch you But that train’s pulled out, been long gone anyway There was no note in frost on the window Second thoughts or hidden signs It’s not like you stole off in the night From the weight of something you just couldn’t bear You were never trying to elude me You just had your plans and they didn’t include me Southern California is your girlfriend The sunny twist of Venice Chez-Jay some gay not all the way Here I stand Midwestern corn fed squinting down the track It’s time to unpack I know what it means now, that je ne seis quoi It means something taught you not to tell Soon enough the air of your mystery Is choked with the poisonous mix of your history Southern California is your girlfriend The sunny twist of Venice Chez Jay some gay not all the way Here I stand Midwestern corn fed staring down the track It is time to unpack The ferris wheel were the tourist go The late night deals behind the Loews The hopeful stunner who takes your order Your last chance mojo south of the border There’s a soldier on leave in a foreign land There’s a girl who dreams of lands across the sea The postcard pictures are rare and exotic The hum of the engines is deep and hypnotic
