lyrics

You came from California
And lost that western charm
All the things you thought you loved there
Became the "things back home"
They gave you shit for smilin'
And you just laughed ‘em off
Got hitched and moved to England
Where you became the queen
You never could quite miss him
When you broke his heart
He always hoped you'd come back
But you just ran so far
No no no
You just left him for dead
No no no
You just left and laughed him off
Back in California
You made your friends all mad
They gave up when you moved out
They just couldn't understand
They gave you shit for leaving
And you'd just leave again
Back with your man in England
So you just can't be seen
