lyrics

Alright alright, alright alright

She had a rocking horse but not a real one
He said he liked it of course
but she didn't see it that way
He told her anyway, it was a big mistake
'Cause it was too late he should have told her yesterday

He wore a toupee but not a funny one
She said she liked it of course
but he didn't see it that way
She told him anyway, it was a big mistake
'Cause it was too late she should have told him yesterday

Well you can hang up by your ankles and try to be taller
Hurry off to school and try to be a scholar
Have a couple beers and try not to call her
You know what I'm trying to say

You see I love you and I always will
But now I'm going back to California
where the weather's getting warmer
and I know the people living there still

Alright alright, alright alright

He had a toothpick but not an actual one
She said she liked it of course
but he didn't see it that way
She told him anyway, it was a big mistake
'Cause it was too late she should have told him yesterday

She made a funny face but not a silly one
He said he liked it of course
but she didn't see it that way
He told her anyway, it was a big mistake
'Cause it was too late he should have told her yesterday

You can wear another color and try to be thinner
Get into the race and try to be a winner
Hurry home from work and try to make him dinner
You know what I'm trying to say

You see I love you and I always will
But now I'm going back to California
where the weather's getting warmer
and I know the people living there still

Alright alright, alright alright

[Solo]

Well you can hang up by your ankles and try to be taller
Hurry off to school and try to be a scholar
Have a couple beers and try not to call her
You know what I'm trying to say

You see I love you and I always will
But now I'm going back to California
where the weather's getting warmer
and I know the people living there still

Alright alright, alright alright

She had a tummy ache but not a happy one
He said he liked it of course
but she didn't see it that way
She told him anyway, it was a big mistake
'Cause it was too late she should have told him yesterday

He had a suitcase but not a practical one
She said she liked it of course
But he didn't see it that way
He told her anyway, it was a big mistake
'Cause it was too late he should have told her yesterday

You can wear another color and try to be thinner
Get into the race and try to be a winner
Hurry home from work and try to make him dinner
You know what I'm trying to say

You see I love you and I always will
But now I'm going back to California
where the weather's getting warmer
and I know the people living there still

Alright alright, alright alright, alright alright
