City lights with a neon glow
She dances high and she'll take it slow
Another needle pricks her wings
Smoke fills her lungs
It kind of stings
Broken heels and her makeup smeared
Dreams fade when the end is near
Spin around the lost and found
Living only for that beat and sound
Stripped of dreams but not her soul
The night keeps her young and feeling whole
Its just like California
She's just like seventeen
Dressed like a performer
Dancing in between
The lines out on the table
The lines she'll never leave
Go on and show me your world
Feeling high and the liquors low
I got time for one more show
And she whispers in my ear
Said can we please get out of here
I could really use a friend
But you will never see me again
Its just like California
She's just like seventeen
Dressed like a performer
Dancing in between
The lines out on the table
The lines she'll never leave
Its just like California
She's just like seventeen
Dressed like a performer
Dancing in between
The lines out on the table
The lines she'll never leave
Go on and show me your world
