See I got a little bit of a problem
back where [bad word] from,
feels like five people in my population
and no one ever leaves there
I’m gonna be the first one
I guess my papa always told me the way it wasn't
and my mama think she knows me, I know she doesn’t
(ah ah ah)
 [bad word] 
But I got my head set on California
I’ll fly away tomorrow, won’t even warn ya
and I’ll send a big postcard, just to [bad word] you off
I got my head set on California
Here [bad word] 

See, I got what you would call an obsession
it feels like I think sane
the limits of a small town [bad word] my brain, 
might leave some roots there,
but my head’s on the next plane
’cause my daddy always told me the way it was,
and my mama think she knows me, I know she doesn’t
(ah ah ah)
 [bad word] 

Here [bad word] 
Papa always tells me the way it was,
and my mama think she knows me, I know she doesn’t
(ah ah ah)

But I got my head set on New York City
I’ll fly away tomorrow, won’t even miss me
and I’ll get a big boyfriend, just to [bad word] you off
 [bad word] 

Here [bad word]  here [bad word]
