Ain’t No California

Mel Tillis – Ain’t no California
 
[Verse 1]
[G] Well I live my life on [C] highways from sea to shining [G] sea
So listen to my [C] story save yourself some [D7] agony
Forget that urge to [C] wander like a shadow on the [G] ground
Find yourself a [C] woman get a job and settle [G] down 
 
[CHORUS] - - - Cause there ain't no Cali-[CG]-fornia where the water tastes like [G] wine. - - - Ain't no Big Rock Candy [C] Mountain where you feel good all the [D7] time. - - - I ain't found that old blue [C] bayou though I roamed my whole life [G] long. - - - Searching for my blue [C] heaven heard somewhere it's called [G] home
 
[Verse 2]
So don't you listen to [C] those freight trains
Let them scream into the [G] night
Don't watch those greyhound [C] buses 
semi-trucks and airplane [D7] lines
Let someone else be [C] lonely let someone else be [G] cold
Let someone else make [C] sure those lies and stories all get [G] told
