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 stars Left 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 hills I 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 sand Suzane be strong, it wont take long For your kentucky boy to be a california man Suzane, 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 inten Tentation got strong, it didn't take long For your kentucky boy to be a california man Suzane surely you know by now Your kentucky boy wont be coming back again Tentation got strong, and it didn't take long For your kentucky boy to be a california man
