Lyrics:

written by Jimmy Webb

? 1981 White Oaks Songs (ASCAP)



Ran away from home when I was seventeen

To be with you

On the California coast



Drinking margaritas all night in the old cantina

Out on the California coast



Don't think that I'm ungrateful

And don't look so morose

Adios

Adios



We never really made it baby

But we came pretty close

Adios adios



Going up north where the hills are winter green

I have to leave you

On the California coast



Going where the water's clear and the air is cleaner

Than the California coast



Our dreams of endless summer

Were just too grandiose

Adios

Adios



And I miss the blood red sunset

But I miss you the most

Adios adios

Adios

Adios

Adios adios
