Deric Ruttan California Plates lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Met ya out on the west coast
Fell in love in Frisco and brought you home
You said you loved this small town
We tried to put some roots down of our own

But the city lights burned so bright
In your memory
Guess they were always calling you
Away from me

[Chorus:]
Should be good to go
I topped it off, I checked the oil
There's a map on the dash,
But I guess you know your way

And I have to laugh I guess
As you point your Eldorado west
You changed my life
You changed your name
But you never changed your California plates

[Verse 2:]
Bet you missed the beaches
Warm ocean breezes rollin' in
But I'll miss the cool nights
Nothin' but the firelight on your skin


Girl dry your eyes I know you tried
To make it work
But in your heart your
Still a California girl

[Chorus:]
Should be good to go
I topped it off, I checked the oil
There's a map on the dash,
But I guess you know your way

And I have to laugh I guess
As you point your Eldorado west
You changed my life
You changed your name
But you never changed your California plates

[Bridge:]
And I have to laugh I guess
As you point your Eldorado west
You changed my life
You changed your name
But you never changed your California plates
No you never changed your California plates
