Reckless Kelly How Was California? lyrics

How was California?
Did they teach you how to surf?
Was it everything they said it was?
Was it all that you deserve?

Or did you hate the Golden State
Was it hollow just like you?
Just like every place you go
California's got the blues

How was Austin, Texas?
Did they greet you with a smile?
Did you ride the pretty horses?
Did you feel like you could stay a while?

Or did you hate the Lone Star State

Was it lonely just like you?
Just like every place you go
Austin, Texas has the blues

How was New York City?
Did you take a stroll in Central Park?
Was there always something going on?
Did you feel safe after dark?

Or did you hate the Empire State
Was it miserable like you?
Just like every place you go
New York City's got the blues
