Nothing Good Comes Out of California

Whats a heartland girl doin way out there
They say youll get tattooed and purple hair
Youll miss the Friday night lights and the county fair and thats a pity
They say traffic there is a perfect mess, how you get arounds anybodys guess
You gotta wheel and deal in stiletto heels in the city
They say its beautiful but it aint always pretty

They`re saying, nothing good comes out of California
Theyll convert your heart and well have to reform ya
Dance with the devil in the city of angels
They dont know the words to the star spangled
Girl, you cant say we didnt try to warn ya
That nothing good comes out of California

In motel off Heartache and Vine
The seats in the shadow of the Hollywood sign
I see a few stars from time to time and take a picture
Oh, and I gotta dream burnin inside my heart
Songs to write on this guitar
No matter where I go I never get too far from their whispers

Then, nothing good comes out of California
Theyll convert your heart and well have to reform ya
Cant trust a place where the sun shines all the time
With plastic smiles they sip their wine
Girl, you cant say we didnt try to warn ya
That nothing good comes out of California

Guess Ill have to write a song that makes my hometown sing along
The cynics and critics, Ill prove em wrong

Nothing good comes out of California
Theyll convert your heart and well have to reform ya
Dance with the devil in the city of angels
They dont know the words to the star spangled
Girl, you cant say we didnt try to warn ya (didnt try to warn ya)
That nothing good comes out, I tried to make you proud, even if nothing good comes out of California
