Step out on the pourin rain
Left out on the evening train
I was just a little boy thinking bout the
Memories father that you to be
Verse 2
San Jose it's a sun drenched town
You're road struck with the windows rolled down
Jerry Jeff ridin high on the radio
I wanna know why you had to go
Pre Chorus 1
Took a plane to California
End of summer 1970's
Tellin you that you're the man
That taught me how to sing
Why did you
Go and leave me so
Young so young so
Young
Chorus 1
Tell me things that I wanna Know
Now I'm a man with a family of my own
Why'd you go and leave in the cold
With the face in the mirror of the man I didn't know
In the desert where the warm wind blows
Where'd you go when I was so alone
Those California nights can be so cold
I wanna know the man I didn't know
Verse 3
Now I'm the one with the radio song
A wife and kid so tell me what's wrong
I need the man in my life who made me who I am
I don't wanna lose you again
Pre Chorus 2
Took a plane to California
End of summer 1970's
Tellin you that you're the man
That taught me how to sing
Why did you
Go and leave me so
Young so long so
Young
Chorus 2
Tell me things that I wanna Know
Now I'm a man with a family of my own
Why'd you go and leave in the cold
With the face in the mirror of the man I didn't know
In the desert where the warm wind blows
Where'd you go when I was so alone
Those California nights can be so cold
I wanna know the man I didn't know
