I was only seventeen when i first met you And you were always wilder than me But i still loved you But you said i had to watch all the seasons change before i knew You said you had a dream and you had to find it You always wanted a girl like me but this wasn't how you timed it Boy meets girl they fall in love Boy leaves for the city lights and she's crying But i ain't crying
(chorus) It's been four weeks twenty-eight days Since you went away I know you'll be back someday From california And i'll be the barefoot blonde Sliver rings and blue jeans on Standing out there with the dog Just waiting for you From california
You sent me malibu on the back of a post card Sure looks pretty out there But you sound lonesome I volunteered at the county fair They got me painting daisies on the babies cheeks Now ain't that sweet
(repeat chorus)
You got a job playing guitar Well that don't surprise me I always thought you were a star But i'm glad you miss me
