lyrics

Here it is
My first letter since I’ve gone away
Mind to hand, pen to paper,
Opened by Thursday
Write me when you’re ready
Don’t you rush
Yeah, we’ve got time
And when you find the proper words
Just write me a verse
And I’ll send you mine
God, I wanna be home

All I got is east coast dreams
And a western sky
And even though I never
Seem to get it right
I still try

To fill you in
With a post card and some 3 by 5s
To tell you when California sleeps
It’s when I thrive
Tell me where your heart’s at
Tell me what you’re thinking now
I’ve got an educated guess
With a letter addressed
And a three to five day wait

All I got is east coast dreams
And a western sky
And even though I never
Seem to get it right
I still try
To tell you what it’s like
To sleep on hard wood floors
In a house in east L.A.
I still got your photograph
You gave to me
When I left that day

When I get home
I swear I’m there to stay
I never liked to travel anyway
I’ll put my suite case
And bags away for good

(Chorus)

(Chorus)
