[Verse 1]
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, out on the California coast
Don't think that I'm ungrateful
And don't look so morose
[Chorus]
Adios
Adios
We never really made it, baby
But we came pretty close
Adios, adios
[Verse 2]
Goin' up north where the hills are winter green
I've got to leave you on the California coast
Goin' where the water's clear and the air is cleaner than
Than the California Coast
Our dreams of endless summer
Were just too grandiose
[Chorus]
Adios
Adios
And I miss the blood red sunset
But I miss you the most
Adios, adios
Adios, adios
Adios, adios
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, out on the California coast
Don't think that I'm ungrateful
And don't look so morose
[Chorus]
Adios
Adios
We never really made it, baby
But we came pretty close
Adios, adios
[Verse 2]
Goin' up north where the hills are winter green
I've got to leave you on the California coast
Goin' where the water's clear and the air is cleaner than
Than the California Coast
Our dreams of endless summer
Were just too grandiose
[Chorus]
Adios
Adios
And I miss the blood red sunset
But I miss you the most
Adios, adios
Adios, adios
Adios, adios
