(why I Left) California Lyrics - Liz Phair

Okay, this guy walks into a bar 

No, I'm just, I'm just fucking 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 fucking 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 fuck 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 fucking 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 fuck 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
