Well, I used to like to ramble With my good time friends and neighbors Now I find I'd rather lie awake in bed

And I don't get to act and mean when I keep my buzzers clean and keep the hard stuff in the whiskey from my head.

Well, I guess that's just the trouble when you're always seeing double and the lines are getting twice as hard to see.

I've had years I don't recall But I'm told I had a boy At least somebody did Who looked a lot like me

So I'm California sober as they say And lately I can't find no other way

I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day, so I'm California Soda as they say.

I'm picking Willie's.

Bye.

Bye.

Well, I heard out in the hills they got pills to get their thrills, and they left their liquors out in New Orleans.

Maybe for a New York minute, sugarcane will fit the bill.

But in no time flat, you're out of what you need.

The old fruit don't get together anymore these days, much ever.

And some went straight, and some went straight to jail.

Now they're busy posting vids and just trying to raise their kids to the raising holy hell and posting bail.

Well I'm California sober as they say And lately I can't find no other way

I can't stay out and party like I did back in the day, so I'm California sober as they say.

Thank you.

Oh, no.

Uh-huh.

I was California sober till I thought the world was over.

Now I'm sitting on the roadside once again.

When that wagon passes by I don't even bat an eye Cause the devil on my shoulder always wins When that old wagon passes by I don't even bat an eye Cause the devil on my shoulder always wins
