Malibu

[Verse 1]

Crowded everywhere, but I still feel lonely

Everyone talks, they're full of bologna

Where can I run that I haven't already?

Hands start shakin' and my heart ain't steady

They say love and grief are a package deal

More you have, the more you feel

I had a dream, but I tried to forget it

What happened next, couldn't have guessed it

[Chorus]

I chased that dream all the way to Malibu

Some unfinished business to attend to

But I blamе myself, I don't blame you

For leaving mе stranded

In Malibu

[Verse 2]

You gave me a box full of darkness

Left me standing barefoot and carless

Take it all back, take it all back to zero

Used to be a loser, but now I'm a hero

Climbed the stairs 'til I got to the bottom

Grandpa always said, "Smoke 'em if you got 'em"

Spent half my days drunk on pills or pot

But I can't complain, 'cause I got a lot of

[Chorus]

Chased that dream all the way to Malibu

Got some unfinished business to attend to

But I blame myself, I don't blame you

For leaving me stranded

In Malibu

[Bridge]

California

A good place to be

But if you're gonna be stranded

It's better than Tennessee

[Chorus]

Chased that dream all the way to Malibu

With some unfinished business to attend to

But I blame myself, I don't blame you

For leaving me stranded

In Malibu

[Post-Chorus]

Malibu
