California, Missouri Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I graduated with 86 sheep, I was the black one
If there was a reputation to be out in this town, I had the bad one
I was born in the wrong place in the wrong time
But sometimes the wrong way makes you the right kind

[Chorus]
I was all in a hurry
And if I got past, then I won't stop like I would get a head start on anything that hurt me
Anywhere I go, don't feel like you was that good or bad
I don't know if I'm wrong in a way
I don't know if I'm wrong and told ya
I guess that's what you get when you're born
And stuck in California
California, Missouri

[Verse 2]
I just really hope one day that you're gonna love me
I was California dreamin' from the middle of the country
I look for you in the best of them
And every face and city skyline
I got out of your way
But did you get out of my

[Chorus]
I was all in a hurry And if I got past, then I won't stop like I would get a head start on anything that hurt me
Anywhere I go, don't feel like you was that good or bad
I don't know if I'm wrong in a way
I don't know if I'm wrong and told ya
I guess that's what you get when you're born
And stuck in California
California, Missouri

[Verse 3]
Ain't no shining lights or palm trees
There's more stars in the sky than stars in the streets
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
There's too many goals and memories

[Chorus]
I was all in a hurry
And if I got past, then I won't stop like I nothing could hurt me
Anywhere I go, don't feel like you was that good or bad
I don't know if I'm wrong in a way
I don't know if I'm wrong and told ya
I guess that's what you get when you're born
And stuck in California
California, Missouri
