You left your jacket, in my closet
And your spare key, in the drawer
Add me, to the list of things, you don’t need anymore
I saw your brother, out last weekend
He couldn’t look me, in the eye
I heard he thinks I hate you, but I couldn’t if I tried
I hope you finally make your way, to California
I hope you find someone, who loves you, like I do
I hope your ships, never start sinkin’
And your Daddy, he quits drinkin’
And you hit every green light, drivin’ down the road
I hope you’re happy, and I hope, I’ll never know
I hope the Eaglеs, take a victory lap, to Red Rocks
And you hear, “Dеsperado” live, from the front row
I hope the girl you’re with, knows all the words
And you buy, matchin’ tour t-shirts
And I hope your friends, never let me know
I hope you finally make your way, to California
I hope you find someone, who loves you, like I do
I hope your ships, never start sinkin’
And your Daddy, he quits drinkin’
And you hit every green light, drivin’ down the road
I hope you’re happy, and I hope, I’ll never know
I hope that life, don’t give you lemons
All your bets, I hope you win ’em
I hope you’re happy, as can be
I hope it don’t get back to me
I hope you finally make your way, to California
I hope you find someone, who loves you, like I do
I hope your ships, never start sinkin’
And your Daddy, he quits drinkin’
And you hit every green light, drivin’ down the road
I hope you’re happy, and I hope, I’ll never know
I hope, I’ll never know
