Lyrics:
Berry
I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia
California on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound and rode him
Into Raleigh and on across Caroline
We
know that my might could change my mind,
And I'm told that by rights it's not my find.
I'd be a tower to your highest hopes,
That no southern storm
where I can throw the line
It don't' matter what fish I catch I only came to rest my mind
The only fish you'll get down town ain't caught with a hook
Well, she sits there in the porch swing
On a hot afternoon in Georgia
Surveys everything on Daddy's lap
And the gentlemen callers come by
To tell
But you did, now I'm going all out kid
And I got mad love to give, you my nigga
You're all
I need
To get by
You're all (lie together, cry
I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia
California on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound
And rode him into Raleigh
And on across Caroline
We
I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia
California on my mind
I boarded that Greyhound
Rode in into Raliegh on across Caroline
Stopped in Charlotte
going in, like my water broke
Suicide note, suicide doors
I put in overtime, like a tied score
Tinted windows bitch, that mean mind yours
And the weed
we got a war going on of our own at home
My fucking mind's blown
Tryna figure out how to fight my own clone
Rhinestones are so nice, they shine so
the daylight out on seventy-five,
Through broken thoughts, little pieces of song
The swiftly falling walls of a wandering mind
Become a room for receiving ghosts
change
A small little town
If you blink it'll pass you by
I know there ain't much to it
But I miss it from time to time
It's where I found my first love
we got a war going on of our own at home
My fucking mind's blown
Tryna figure out how to fight my own clone
Rhinestones are so nice, they shine so
not even have a mouth
Columbus, Georgia, said they'd lock me up
If I got on the stage in my show and said "Fuck"
So I thought for a minute and said
Just leave your friends behind, Georgia You've got just what I like, Georgia And on a starry night, I'm by your side I wanna run my fingers through
Never seemed to cross my mind
How you could take the time to kill
Everything our love had built
I never knew how you could hide
Everytime you told
You were always the better one
Because Tom
You were always the better one
Tom
You were always the better one
Now my mind's made up
I shouldn't have cut
Catching the westbound number nine
Gonna leave this town, leave it far behind
Gonna leave while I've got my peace of mind
On the westbound number
I've got my peace of mind
On the westbound number nine
My Pa is with his moonshine friends
Drinkin Deacon Jones' bathtub gin
Deacon Jones
in an alley
Now I mind my business cause I'm rhymin down in Cali
I ain't playin' when sayin' kings of the ghetto
Feel they losing ground
Vato's
To it
.....
I Told Her I Didnt Total It
Didnt Think Youd Notice It
Get Out My Mind Jump In My Car
Im On That Billy Ocean Shit
Its Like No Verd I Like
He was just and old country doctor in a small Georgia town
Fame and fortune had passed him by but we never saw him frown
As day by day in his kindly
snickers with no nuts no satisfaction.
I hustle and flow, mighta been by my cheese since I was knee high.
Weed what you need, hit me I'ma drop off
You're all
I need
To get by
(W-w-wild, I'm about to blow)
Like sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my
Virginia pines
I've got to make it home somehow
Before I lose my mind
So won't you carry me back to California
I've been on the road too long
Take me
