Liz Phair - (Why I Left) California Lyrics

Okay, this guy walks into a bar

No, I'm just, I'm just f*cking with you, I'm kidding

No, there's this, this young bull and this old bull

And they're standing on top of a hill

And I tried to tell you before

That that's why I left California



So they're standing on top of this hill, right?

And they're looking out over a pasture full of cows

Whole f*cking pasture

And the young bull turns to the old bull, and he goes,

"I got this really good idea."

And they old bull's like, "Yeah?"



And I tried to tell you before

That that's why I left California



"Yeah," he's like, "yeah, yeah, I got this really good idea.

Let's run down that hill and f*ck one of those cows."

And the old bull just looks at him, you know he's just looking at him

He's like, "Look, I got a better idea."

And the young bull's like, "Oh yeah, what's your f*cking brilliant idea?"

And the old bull goes...



And I tried to tell you before

That that's why I left California



And the old bull goes, "Let's walk down that hill and f*ck all of those cows, dig?"

You know, like he ain't been in town long or something, I dunno



And I tried to tell you before

That that's why I left California
