California Plates Lyrics - Singles - Deric Ruttan

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: 

You 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 

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: 

You 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 

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
