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