[Verse 1]
You could say these days
Are cold and sharp like razor blades
They twist and burn and then they fade
Like a kiss from long ago
I wouldn't tell just anyone
Some days, I feel like a loaded gun
Is our love just a hit and run?
Only time can really know

[Chorus]
Just like the California sun
I think I'm goin' down
Come and meet me in the shadows
Of this drunk and broken town
Don't curse your mind with yesterday
Or the love we could have found
Just waltz across the moment
To that sweet western sound

[Verse 2]
It seems like a fever dream
Everyone matchin' in their perfect themes
Somethin' they saw on their TV screen
Here I am out on my own
My daddy always seemed to know
Who hung the moon and where the river flowed
You know I can hear him when the night wind blows
Daddy, which way do I go?
[Chorus]
'Cause just like the California sun
I think I'm goin' down
Come and meet me in the shadows
Of this drunk and broken town
Don't curse your mind with yesterday
And the love we could have found
Just waltz across the moment
To that sweet western sound

[Bridge]
Don't shoot the lights out
Don't curse the moon
You're the star of the show
And if you don't go
How will you know
Heaven for real?

[Chorus]
Just like the California sun
I think I'm goin' down
Come and meet me in the shadows
Of this drunk and broken town
Don't curse your mind with yesterday
Or the love we could have found
Just waltz across the moment
To that sweet western sound
[Outro]
Oh, sweet western sound
