I left Shannon crying in Nashville
Cadd9 G/B D
She was the best that I had
Cadd9 G/B Am G/B
She needed so much more than I could give
Cadd9 G/B D
That still makes me sad
[Refrão]Am G/B D
But California's in my headlights
Am G/B D Am
It's been so long since I've seen stars in the sky
G/B D G/B
So far, I ain't got it right
Cadd9 G/B D
But this time I just might
I missed this desert most in the springtime
I missed the girl I still love
I've missed so many once in a lifetime
Sometimes that gets tough
Sometimes thats still tough
