"Bye, Bye Illinois"

Spend my pesos, in San Diego
Smiling manatees, in Los Angeles
I've danced a disco, in San Francisco
Lost all I had to lose, out in Santa Cruz
Traveled all across this crazy state
Where dreams are born
Stars, they fade, and all that I can say is
I don't ever wanna leave
Been up and down, highway 1
Soaking up that Cali sun
Did a lot, but I'm not done
This is the life for me

[Chorus:]
So bye, bye Illinois
I've exchanged my 2% for milk that's made with soy
Bye, bye Lake Michigan
Now the deep blue sea
Is what this little girl is fishing in
Please expect a post card
Wish you wouldn't take it so hard
You'll always have a spot in my heart

I smoked a mendo, in Sacramento
Planned this plan of mine, out in Anaheim
Wrote a little ditty, in Kettleman City
Wasted my nights away, in San Jose
I've been up and down, the interstate
Seen a couple rainy days
But all that I can say is
I don't ever wanna leave
Had my share of west coast fun
Drinking in that Cali sun
Did a lot, but I'm not done
This is the life for me

[Chorus:]
So bye, bye Illinois
I've exchanged my 2% for milk that's made with soy
Bye, bye lake Michigan
Now the deep blue sea
Is what this little girl is fishing in
Please expect a post card
Wish you wouldn't take it so hard
You'll always have a spot in my heart
