California Lyrics

Liz Phair California

Songwriters: Phair, Liz;

Okay, this guy walks into a bar
No, I'm just, I'm just f..cking with you, I'm kidding
No, there's this, this young bull and this old bull
And they're standing on top of a hill

And I tried to tell you before
That, that's why I left California

So they're standing on top of this hill, right?
And they're looking out over a pasture full of cows, whole f..cking pasture
And the young bull turns to the old bull and he goes
"I got this really good idea"
And they old bull's like, "Yeah?"

And I tried to tell you before
That, that's why I left California

"Yeah", he's like, "Yeah, yeah, I got this really good idea
Let's run down that hill and f..ck one of those cows"
And the old bull just looks at him, you know he's just looking at him
He's like, "Look, I got a better idea"

And the young bull's like, "Oh yeah?
What's your f..cking brilliant idea?"
And the old bull goes

And I tried to tell you before
That, that's why I left California

And the old bull goes, "Let's walk down that hill
And f..ck all of those cows dig?"
You know, like he ain't been in town long or something, I dunno

And I tried to tell you before
That, that's why I left California
