San Diego is really, really nice. Why isn't that good enough for me?
...

lyrics

What were they thinking?
This city perched above the beach precipitously.
How can it be?
Houses hugging hillsides. Wow, it's peachy keen.

There's stress to start out. Guess all moves are that way. But left where I love; regrets holding sway. No one wants to rent to me. No job yet. The one that I found: a pyramid sham. Now bouncing rounds temps. Apartment's okay. Stroll Golden Hill; I love on off days.

Wind shifts east.
They're called Santa Anas. I name heavenly dreams.
Fog's all gone.
Mountains appear from nowhere and beckon to me.
No call to work, oh "whoah is me." I'll hike and see!

I got what I want, now take it away. Temp turns to full time. Commute on freeways. Cool rains, can deal, except spring never comes. May gray then June gloom, like life is on pause. I moved to have friends; they're few and they're true. But I don't belong, so best that I'm gone.

Plan again.
Moving back to Austin, or hey! Here is an idea...
“I'll return.”
Promised Tucson. Maybe I meant permanently.
Trips to desert keep me dreaming. I'll make it real!
I'm sorry to you, Normal Heights.
Hillcrest, too, though you're all right.
Must plant myself where I can see all through the year.
