Lead vocal: Andreas

lyrics

”Take me away, take me out of LA
Let's head north along the highway”
Drivin' in Big Sur, our love became a blur
In Carmel-by-the-Sea, she decided to leave me
Went to stay in Monterey
Lots of booze in Santa Cruz 'fore I finally wound up in Frisco
California, you still love me

The windows in this cheap hotel
Are paper-thin and letting in
The noise of bottles breaking
As a truck collects the glass
It's 4 a.m., I can't think straight
I ought to sleep - it's getting late
But I just can't forget the way she looked
When she said

”Take me away, take me out of LA
Let's head north along the highway”
Drivin' in Big Sur, our love became a blur
In Carmel-by-the-Sea, she decided to leave me
Went to stay in Monterey
Lots of booze in Santa Cruz 'fore I finally wound up in Frisco
California, you still love me

I take a walk outside to clear my mind
And see if I can find
That morning fog to cloud my senses
I want to understand
We used to be happy, back in LA
Different opinions would meet halfway
Saturday night in bed, she surprised me
When she said

”Take me away, take me out of LA
Let's head north along the highway”
Drivin' in Big Sur, our love became a blur
In Carmel-by-the-Sea, she decided to leave me
Went to stay in Monterey
Lots of booze in Santa Cruz 'fore I finally wound up in Frisco
California, you still love me

We all have our reasons
Guided by our past
Satisfied with what we had
Never meant to last
I'll remember the good times
Won't forget the bad
Whatever didn't kill her
Only ever made her sad

”Take me away, take me out of LA
Let's head north along the highway”
Drivin' in Big Sur, our love became a blur
In Carmel-by-the-Sea, she decided to leave me
Went to stay in Monterey
Lots of booze in Santa Cruz 'fore I finally wound up in Frisco
California, you still love me
