Lyrics
Left behind my home, 3000 miles down the road
Left behind my home, traveled 3000 miles away.
In my Honda with only mouth to feed
Driving in my Honda with only myself to support.
I don't care what town
Indifferent to the specific town, as long as a certain person is not present.
As long as she's not hangin around
Desire to avoid the presence of a particular person.
Just get me far as hell from Nashville Tennessee
Wishing to be far away from Nashville, Tennessee.
Cause I'd rather be depressed in California
Prefer to experience depression in California.
Oceans got the only blues I need
Believing that the ocean provides the only blues (sadness) needed.
Lay me down to rest in California
Desire to be laid to rest in California.
Heart as cold as New Years NYC
Expressing a cold and unfeeling heart, akin to the chill of New Year's in NYC.
Friends all think I'm dead
People think the speaker is dead, possibly due to emotional struggles.
A silver bullet to my head
Reference to a perceived threat or self-destructive thoughts.
They've been searching in the flowers and the weeds
People searching for the speaker among flowers and weeds.
They don't know the truth
Others are unaware of the speaker's true situation.
I'm bringing back the joy of youth
Reclaiming the happiness and energy of youth.
Drinkin highlife from the bottle on thebeach
Drinking High Life beer from the bottle on the beach.
Cause I'd rather be depressed in California
Prefer to experience depression in California for the sake of finding inner peace.
Finally I can find myself some peace
Anticipating finding personal peace in California.
Lay me down to rest in California
Desire to be laid to rest in California.
Maybe I'll just end up on tv
Speculation about ending up on television in California.
One hundred thousand cigarettes in California
Smoking a large number of cigarettes in California.
Still cleaner than the air I used to breathe
Despite the heavy smoking, the air in California is still perceived as cleaner than before.
yea, I'd rather be depressed in California
Expressing a preference for experiencing depression in California.
Cause nothing else is good enough for me
Nothing else is considered good enough for the speaker.
