California Soul

I'll get a call every few year
Said she's rollin' through town, wants to meet up for a beer
And I say, "Darlin', do you really think that's a good idea?"
Then I smile as I remember the last time
We tore up the city 'til they sent flashin' lights
Just to shut us down—I guess I could spare a night or two

Oh, she's everything you can't control
That freedom that you can't quite hold

California soul in her deep blue eyes
Makes you breathe in slow, like to take her time
Yeah, she's Southern in the way she talks
New York in the way she walks
Makin' her home wherever her skin meets the sun
She's a wild one, yeah
She's wild one, mm

Now, I'm stuck in the world that she lives in
Pushed me straight into fifth gear and freedom
She's everything I wanna know, but right when
I think I got her figured out, she's gone again

Oh, I've given up on making her mine
Just to steal a little more of her time

California soul in her deep blue eyes
Makes you breathe in slow, like to take her time
Yeah, she's Southern in the way she talks
New York in the way she walks
Making her home wherever her skin meets the sun
She's a wild one, ooh, mm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, oh

Ooh, her love floods your heart like a river
Until she runs away forever
Leaves you wonderin' if you ever had a chance
With the wild one

Oh, those deep blue eyes
Makes you breathe in slow, like to take her time
Oh, she's Southern in the way she talks
New York in the way she walks
Makin' her home wherever her skin meets the sun
She's a wild one, ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, oh
