Day I Died in California by Stu Stone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She was on the block, waitin' by the bus stop
Lookin' little fucked up, waitin' to get picked up
I drove by, waved hi, and she flashed me a smile, baby it's been awhile (Baby, it's been awhile)
I pulled up, said "Baby, where you goin'? Tell me where you tryn' to get to, how can I help you?"
She opened up the car door, slid in, and that there's how the story begins
We started drivin', ridin' west on the freeway
Top down, needle up, like I'm on a speedway
She's on her way to California, said she misses her dad, she's been feelin' sad (She's been feelin' sad)
I told her "Baby, don't you worry, Imma get you there
"No tears, just know I'm happy 'cause you're sittin' here"
Like that, we were writers on the song, rebels on the run
Clyde drivin', Bonnie sittin' shotgun
[Hook]
Day I died in California
How come they never warn ya
They always the sky is the limit
The day I died in California
My heart sayin' "Let's go"
But my mind is sayin' "Guess I gotta let go"
[Verse 2]
Made our way towards the California border
She was smokin' cigarettes, I was drinkin' water
We started talkin', makin' plans like we meant to
Forgot about the bullshit that we went through
She put her hand up on my hand, her head up on my shoulder
My arm was on her hip, I looked back and I told her
"I know we shouldn't, but I really want you
"Baby girl, you're like a drug that I don't do
"But there's not a lot of things that I won't do
"And one of them is let you down 'til the day we in the ground
"I got your back way back to the very end"
She said "I'm leavin', and cheatin' with your friend" (Do what?)
She said "I'm sorry, but the issue is dead"
Pulled out a 9, put two in my head
Like that, we were writers on the song, rebels on the run
Clyde's dead, Bonnie's got a shotgun
[Hook]
Day I died in California
How come they never warn ya
They always the sky is the limit
The day I died in California
My heart sayin' "Let's go"
But my mind is sayin' "Guess I gotta let go"
Day I died in California
How come they never warn ya
They always the sky is the limit
The day I died in California
My heart sayin' "Let's go"
But my mind is sayin' "Guess I gotta let go"
Day I died in California
How come they never warn ya
They always the sky is the limit
The day I died in California
My heart sayin' "Let's go"
But my mind is sayin' "Guess I gotta let go"
