He flipped the album's sleeve and noticed that someone had scrawled snatches of song lyrics next to the musician credits. It was somewhat hard to read (whoever made those sleeve notes had some very poor penmanship) but the content of that text came clearly through to him:
'We left our town to reach California
With promises of eternal love
Selling everything we had
With no credit cards
All the cash stashed in one place.
You left me at the gas station after a nasty fight
I stepped down the car to fill the tank
And as the fuel gauge needle told you it was full
You hit the pedal to the metal and left me behind
You left me at the gas station after a nasty fight
I got a surprise for you, honey
You may have a tank full of gas
But you'll never reach California
For as you left my love
