When she called my sneakers tennis shoes I knew she was from the west coast, or the best coast, like she'd say, and I had to disagree

I fell in love with a ship, a vessel with at least 20 holes. Yeah but she still floats. I fell in love with the sea, a brilliant tidal wave, she devastated me.

Come back home, and bring those green eyes, oh when are you coming home? I fell in love with a queen, a king, she burnt my village down, I paid her with love and taxes. I fell in love with a street sign that told me where to go, oh why do I go anywhere?

Come back home, and bring those green eyes, when are you coming home? Get back here, cause baby these blue eyes are never as bright without you.

And when you called me from San Francisco, I knew you had started a new life. Yeah without me, you're only you.

Come back home, and bring those green eyes, oh when are you coming home? Get back here, cause baby these blue eyes are never as bright without you, when are you coming home? When are you coming home? When are you coming home? When are you coming home?
