Verse 1

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

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

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
