[Verse 1]
You came from outta nowhere
Pink flower cowboy boots
I watched your long, dark hair
Lit up that dim-lit room
"Where have you been my whole life?"
That's what I thought to myself
Took a shot of Sazerac Rock
Walked up, why not, what the hell?
Asked you if it was Heaven, 'cause angels are from there
Said it wasn't but it had to be somewhere
[Pre-Chorus]
It turns out it was Southern California
Population, millions minus you
I'd give anything to see you in your Honda
Breakin' hearts like you couldn't help but do
[Chorus]
I bet your hometown hates me, 'cause they always thought you'd stay
Drives your ex-boyfriend crazy, 'cause you're the one that got away
Yeah, girl, I've always wondered, since the day I said "Hello"
Where you been my whole life?
Well, baby, now I know
Yeah, baby, now I know
[Verse 2]
You said I had to see it all
Well I said "That's alright with me"
We loaded up and drove off
Didn't stop 'til we saw the beach
I spent the next seven days
Seein' you relive seventeen
Run around the place that made the girl of my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
It turns out it was Southern California
Population, millions minus you
I'd give anything to see you in your Honda
Breakin' hearts like you couldn't help but do
[Chorus]
I bet your hometown hates me, 'cause they always thought you'd stay
Drives your ex-boyfriend crazy, 'cause you're the one that got away
Yeah, girl, I've always wondered, since the day I said "Hello"
Where you been my whole life?
Well, baby, now I know
Baby, now I know
[Bridge]
Just a Mississippi boy, chasin' Mississippi girls
Never thought God had one waitin' on me on the other side of my world
Well, you shocked my world
[Outro]
Yeah, girl, I've always wondered, since the day I said "Hello"
Where you been my whole life?
Well, now I know
