Lyrics:
Oh, the night I drove away from you
In a rented Chevy Malibu
3 a.m. empty lanes
Just chalk this up to growing pains
You were kind and fair
You can't fake feelings that aren't there
Oh, California Highway 99
Won't fix this broken heart of mine
And there is no car that can drive fast enough
To escape this love
I cried the whole way as I drove
Sacramento to Elk Grove
And country radio reminded me
That you and I weren't meant to be
I tried, I failed
Our ship never sailed
California Highway 99
Won't fix this broken heart of mine
And there is no car that can drive fast enough
To escape this love

i heard their music the first time in my favorite movie “But I’m a Cheerleader” released in 1999. i’m so happy that they’re back!! i 💗 the softies. congrats on your new album and tour!!

[@anomalees]

you have the Feelies, the Posies, the Weepies, and the Softies. i prefer my indie pop warm like a ray of sunlight and softer than a whisper. Thanks again.

Natasha Lyonne was so affecting and indelible in that coming of age lesbian story.

[@jeremyjensen7144]

That chorus is beyond gorgeous. So heartening for my beloved Softies to making such good music in the 2020s.

[@brendanhutsell208]

They're still active? Hell yeah

[@camsons]

I started estrogen today, but the softies releasing is the best part of today ❤

[@crabinvitation]

congrats :3

[@tokyogreen4797]

Okayyyy but usually the videos with no views that pop up are so bad but this one seemed … interesting and I’m so happy I took a chance on it ! It’s funny when you see so much garbage that when actual art pops up it’s hard to tell the difference , FUCK THE INDUSGRY PLANT WANNA BES

[@ChipsNCellos]

Good rhymes. A music journalist called Brandon Flowers out for his “cliched” lyric rhyming years ago, but that pretentious person can get bent. Sometimes a sweet rhyme is all ya need. ✌️

[@KLSYFY]

That's not a Chevy Malibu!!! It's a Geo Metro!!! 😡

[@raeloftis7106]

I think a geo metro is what they toured in in the 90s :)
