Lyrics

[INTRO]
Oh, the sun sets down on California streets,
But my heart's in Indiana where our two souls meet.
Red hair shining bright like the summer day,
But now she's so far, and I'm lost in the fray.

[VERSE 1]
We danced in twilight, under stars so clear,
She whispered sweet nothings, pulling me near.
But like a breeze in July, she slipped right away,
Now I’m haunted by the memories, come what may.

[CHORUS]
Oh, California girl, don’t you see,
You’re the only one who ever believed in me.
In my heart there’s a space where you used to be,
But now I’m just a dude in Indiana, lonely and free.

[VERSE 2]
From the cornfields to dreaming under palm trees,
I thought love was forever, thought we’d never freeze.
But seasons change quickly, and so did we,
Now I’m staring down a bottle, missing you endlessly.

[CHORUS]
Oh, California girl, don’t you see,
You’re the only one who ever believed in me.
In my heart there’s a space where you used to be,
But now I’m just a dude in Indiana, lonely and free.

[BRIDGE]
Red hair, wild heart, how did we fall apart?
I gave you my all, but now it’s tearing me apart.
I remember our laughter, the way that you smiled,
In a crowded room, I still felt like a child.

[CHORUS]
Oh, California girl, don’t you see,
You’re the only one who ever believed in me.
In my heart there’s a space where you used to be,
But now I’m just a dude in Indiana, lonely and free.

[OUTRO]
So I’ll sing this song, let the echoes resound,
In the quiet of night, I’m still searching for sound.
A girl with red hair like a flame burning bright,
But I’m stuck in this heartache, fighting the night.
Oh, California girl, you were my heart’s song,
But I’m just a dude in Indiana, where can I belong?
