California
[Verse 1]
Left a darling down in Georgia
Lost a girl to Tennessee
Now I'm going out to California
Where somebody cares for me
[Chorus]
Hey there, hey there darling
Don't break too many hearts
Keep 'em at a distance, keep 'em all guessing
You got a nice hand but never show your cards
[Verse 2]
Double bourbon on the rocks on the weekend
Four or five on Saturday night
You better watch it with the looks you're stealing
Them boys can't treat you right
[Chorus]
Hey there, hey there darling
Don't break too many hearts
Keep 'em at a distance and you keep 'em all guessing
You got a nice hand but never show your cards
[Post-Chorus]
When I get to California
Kiss goodbye this southern heat
The California stars are my girls
For all the night, for all the night
[Verse 3]
Drank away my girl in Texas
Ended up in new Orleans
All the women down there knew better
Than to mess around with me
[Chorus]
Hey there, hey there darling
Don't break too many hearts
Keep 'em at a distance and you keep 'em all guessing
You got a nice hand but never show your cards
[Post-Chorus]
When I get to California
Kiss goodbye this southern heat
The California stars are my girls
For all the night, for all the night
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Hey there, hey there darling
Don't break too many hearts
Keep 'em at a distance, keep 'em all guessing
You got a nice hand but never show your cards
Hey there, hey there darling
Don't break too many hearts
Keep 'em at a distance and you keep 'em all guessing
You got a nice hand but never show your cards
[Outro]
Don't break too many hearts
Don't break too many hearts
Don't break too many hearts
