You're leaving for California tomorrow at the crack of dawn
Leave me all that you have and promise me you'll return
I just couldn't stand to see such talent go to waste
While you're out on the road, I'm living in the bathroom stall
And for some reason, I wish you weren't singing about me after all
I will pray for you, Eric
No matter how long it takes
I know in my heart you will come back home
I will always love you, Eric
No matter how long it takes
I know in my heart you want to come back home
And now that you are
I'm grateful you sing about me at all
