See I got a little bit of a problem back where I come from
Feels like five people in my population
And no one ever leaves there, I'm gonna be the first one

PRE-CHORUS
I guess my Papa always told me the way it was
And my mama think she knows me, I know she doesn't
(Ah, ah, ah)

CHORUS
But I got my head set on California
I'll fly away tomorrow, won't even warn ya
And I'll send a big postcard, just to piss you off
I got my head set on California, here I come

See, I got what you would call an obsession
It feels like I think sane
The limits of a small town frustrating my brain,
Might leave some roots there but my head's on the next plane

PRE-CHORUS
Cause my daddy always told me the way it was,
And my mama think she knows me, I know she doesn't
(Ah, ah, ah)

CHORUS
But I got my head set on California
I'll fly away tomorrow, won't even warn ya
And I'll send a big postcard, just to piss you off
I got my head set on California, here I come

Here I come

PRE-CHORUS
Papa always tells me the way it was,
And my mama think she knows me, I know she doesn't
(Ah, ah, ah)

But I've got my head set on New York City
I'll fly away tomorrow, won't even miss me
And I'll get a big boyfriend, just to piss you off

[INSTRUMENTAL]

CHORUS
But I got my head set on California
I'll fly away tomorrow, won't even warn ya
And I'll send a big postcard, just to piss you off
I got my head set on California, here I come

Here I come, here I come
