Suzane and I said out goodbye
Some time ago on a north Kentucky farm
I walked away from a steer one day
I return with the moon, and the starsLeft her standing all alone
Forty miles from nowhere in a bluegrass field
Waving goodbye, tears in her eyes
Watching her love fade away into the hillsI heard california, had lots of sunshine dreams and retrain booths
And I could just speak to my sweet suzane
Lyin back in a hollywood mansion wearing my gold
Done my way into frisco bay, spread my bed on california sandSuzane be strong, it wont take long
For your kentucky boy to be a california manSuzane, that ocean breeze got cold
So I'll walk in to town, just to warm my chill
Found a cheap backstreet hotel, and ladies with no names, up for sell
Your country boy had never seen a california lady in a gold intenTentation got strong, it didn't take long
For your kentucky boy to be a california manSuzane surely you know by now
Your kentucky boy wont be coming back againTentation got strong, and it didn't take long
For your kentucky boy to be a california man
