Lyrics

Back From Cali (Live From New York 22.05.12)

[Verse 1]

Woke up this mornin' all alone

I got a ringin' in my head

I couldn't take it anymore

Today, she left me here for dead

[Bridge]

Oh, that's right

Oh, woah

Oh, woah

Oh, woah

[Verse 2]

And it should come as no surprise

I shoulda known it from the start

The lights are faded and I can't deny

That New York City's got so much fuckin' heart

[Pre-Chorus]

If you can hear me tonight

If you can hear me tonight

[Chorus]

You'll have to carry me back from Cali'

I'm tired and broken and I've lost my way

You'll have to carry me back to where I belong

You'll have to carry me back from Cali'

I don't want money, I don't need no fame

You'll have to carry me back to where I belong

[Bridge]

I got to leave that angel city

But I can't do it by myself

So if you please, New York, can you fuckin' save me

Before I blow this life to hell?

Slash, take these fuckers home

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge>

Mama, grab me by the feet

And just drag me home

[Chorus]

You'll have to carry me back from Cali'

I don't care if you think I'm to blame

You'll have to carry me back to where I belong

You'll have to carry me back from Cali'

The angel city where the devils play

You'll have to carry me back to where I belong, yeah

[Outro]

If you can hear me tonight, if you can hear me

If you can hear me tonight, can't hear you

If you can hear me tonight

If you can hear me tonight

I've lost my way, I'm so alone (Ah)

And all I want is to come home, haha (Ah)

Yeah
