My shadow followed when you walked away 
And ever since that day 
My life has never been the same 
My friends all asked just why you went away 
And all that 
I can say is that your heart was in another place 
And all I know is when 
I move away 
My heart will stay in this midwestern state 
Whoa-oh, oh, oh! 
Darling, you're with him! 
Whoa-oh, oh, oh! 
Damn it's such a shame. 
Whoa-oh, oh, oh! 
It's drivin' me insane 
And ever since you went away, 
My heart has never beat the same 
And all that 
I can do Is just laugh 
California waits for me to make the change 
So I can start a band 
And party like it's summer 
My friends all ask just why 
I want to change 
And all that 
I can say is it's all because of her 
And all I know is when 
I move away 
My heart will stay in this midwestern state. 
Whoa-oh, oh, oh! 
Darling, you're with him! 
Whoa-oh, oh, oh! 
Damn it's such a shame. 
Whoa-oh, oh, oh! 
It's drivin' me insane 
And ever since you went away, 
My heart has never beat the same 
And all I want to do 
Is just go scream it in your face 
Whoa-oh, oh, oh! 
Darling, you're with him! 
Whoa-oh, oh, oh! 
Damn it's such a shame. 
Whoa-oh, oh, oh! 
It's drivin' me insane 
And ever since you went away, 
My heart has never beat the same 
And all that 
I can do Is just laugh.
